Americans and the Holocaust: America Responds to Kristallnacht

America Responds to Kristallnacht

No event of the Holocaust received as much attention in the American press as the violence of November 9–10, 1938, known as Kristallnacht. This program explores what Americans knew about the attacks on German and Austrian Jews, how the news was reported, and how the American public and government responded to this shocking escalation to violence.

This program is offered by MCHE in partnership with Seward County Community College in support of the USHMM exhibit Americans and the Holocaust.
