The U.S. and the Holocaust (Ken Burns)

As the Nazi regime systematically killed six million European Jews over the first half of the '40s, was America oblivious...or aware, but simply didn't care? Neither answer's correct, and this considered project from Ken Burns, Lynn Novick, and Sarah Botstein takes a nuanced look at how Americans weighed one of history's greatest humanitarian crises, and raises issues of how our politicians, press, and public should respond to those in the future. 6 hrs. on three discs. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
