The U.S. and the Holocaust Educational Resources:

The U.S. and the Holocaust Film

PBS LearningMedia Collection: U.S. & The Holocaust Video Clips and Lessons

PBS Website for U.S. & the Holocaust (See Extras and Specials)

THE U.S. AND THE HOLOCAUST: Combining the first-person accounts of Holocaust witnesses and survivors and interviews with leading historians and writers, THE U.S. AND THE HOLOCAUST dispels competing myths that Americans either were ignorant of the unspeakable persecution that Jews and other targeted minorities faced in Europe or that they looked on with callous indifference. The film tackles a range of questions that remain essential to our society today, including how racism influences policies related to immigration and refugees as well as how governments and people respond to the rise of authoritarian states that manipulate history and facts to consolidate power.
