Frequently Asked Questions

What is The U.S. and the Holocaust about? Toggle content

The U.S. and the Holocaust is a documentary series that explores how the United States responded to the Holocaust, one of the darkest moments in human history. The series delves into the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany, the eugenics movement in the United States, and race laws in the American south, and examines how these factors contributed to the tragic fate of millions of Jews and other persecuted groups. Through personal stories and interviews with historians and survivors, the series sheds light on the human cost of public indifference, bureaucracy, and restrictive immigration policies, and challenges the myth that Americans were unaware of the persecution happening in Europe.
