SUMMARY:A Discussion of Ken Burns' Film\, "The US and the Holocaust" Led by Dr. Elliot Lefkovitz
DESCRIPTION:The acclaimed 2022 documentary by Ken Burns’ raises significant concerns relevant to our time. We will first review the film itself\, including the myths about the Holocaust and America’s response to it\, which the film seeks to dispel. The discussion will then turn to an examination of three issues that have been the topics of vigorous historical debate: American Jewry’s response to the Shoah\, FDR’s reaction to this genocidal catastrophe\, and the question of whether or not the U.S. should have bombed Auschwitz. \nParticipants are kindly requested to view the film prior to the session\, as your input will be more welcome. The film can be found here. (PBS Membership Required) \nNon- Members Register Here \nMembers Register Here \nDR.

He is an Oral Historian for the Illinois Holocaust Museum\, and an Interviewer for the Spielberg Survivors of the Shoah Project.
