How America failed European Jews during the Holocaust
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 вер 2022
- A new PBS documentary series, "The U.S. and the Holocaust," examines how United States policy was not always an open door for Jews in Europe who sought to flee Nazi persecution before and during World War II. Correspondent Susan Spencer talks with documentary filmmakers Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein about the ways in which America failed - politically and institutionally - during a seismic humanitarian catastrophe.

No more wars for Israel…
Open borders for israel.
Israel would never allow open borders...the irony! I've been there!
Cool. Now do the Holodomor
What do the Red Cross stats say? What was the J population before and after the war according to them? Can we make one movie about the Holodomor? Just one? I wonder why?
Red Cross said (IIRC) 271k died in the camps AFTER the allies bombed all the supply lines. Prior to that the camps were practically untouched.
Europa The Last Battle is a much more comprehensive documentary showcasing the errors of this Ken Burns documentary

Holodomor.
90% of Americans opposed military involvement in WWII.
Right the said is their problem. But many many people had relatives in Europe going through this.
Ah yes, more of that beautiful "democracy" that we're so lucky to live under, just like the overwhelming support for the 1965 Hart-Celler act.
False, actually. Especially after Pearl Harbour.
Oh you feel entitled that America should be your body guard?
@@Noam_.Menashe Which was staged so Americans would support the war.
Thats not how you spell the holodomor....
How exactly was America connected to the holodomor?

@@Noam_.Menashe there's a lot of racists here saying nonsense
Hellstorm is an amazing documentary on the truth of the war crimes against the Germans.
WAR IS NOT A PRETTY THING FOR ANYONE! But those that start senseless wars in the name of what ever eventually get what they deserve.
"war crimes". There was only one "warcrime" and it happened after the war, operation keelhaul.
@@insanisstultitia3119 Then you really need to do some research on who really started the war.
@@bigonprivacy2708 Yeah, it's France and Britain's fault for not letting Germany take Poland scot-free.
Actually, they should have acted in concert after the fall of Czechoslovakia, and possibly, as far back as the Rhineland, in 1936.
It's Too BAD they weren't better prepared for War. If the French had mass-produced the Detwoine-520 (400 mph Fighter plane) and at least dug 100,000 foxholes (with troops in them) across from the Ardennes, we may not have HAD this Tragedy in the FIRST place. The British and French already had pretty good tanks, BTW, that good hold their own against the early generation of Panzers. They were not used effectively in concert, however, and there was no radio communication between them. They should have read Guderian's book, and taken it to Memory.
Similarly, if America had scattered it's Pacific Battleship fleet (obsolete as it WAS) and had about 500 P-40 Fighters (already combat-proven by the Flying Tigers) fueled and ready at Pearl, with about ten percent patrolling the skies, we could have schooled the IJN on Day ONE. MacArthur was jumping up and down in the Philippines, all through 1941, saying that he needed more aircraft, tanks and warships. He went unheeded. And, after we were defanged and declawed in Hawaii, the rest just fell like dominoes.
The French instead had a 250 mph Fighter-which was a JOKE by 1940, and WE had a few hundred P-36s at Pearl, many with NO guns, and no fuel in their tanks. In both Pearl Harbor, and the Philippines, many planes were destroyed on the ground.
Even at Midway, six months later, the American torpedo planes were a failure. Fortunately, the Dive Bombers prevailed. And, speaking of torpedoes, they used an unsatisfactory proximity fuze until about mid-1943. No less a luminary than Einstein warned the US Navy about that fuze, but, then, what did HE know about Physics??
@@insanisstultitia3119 Judaea declared war on Germany though

The ideas underpinning Communism have been around for thousands of years. No one person or group invented it but I suspect you probably have some rabid conspiracy theory to the contrary.

@Dera Kioandria Williams Israel gave back Gaza (which I agree with) and has been thanked with Rocket attacks, and them building tunnels to sneak in and commit Terrorist attacks. Yes, the counterattacks took many more lives, but if you punch someone in a Bar, and they have the better punch...
America killed many more after the 9/11 attacks than were killed in said attacks, but it HAS to be that way!
Why should they be? They’re not Israeli and the naturalization process is long and intensive in pretty much every country.

Sadly they have finally won - and you will soon see the consequences for all of us....
genrik yagoda. i wonder why you don't do a report on that jewish person
have you ever met a holodomor survivor? no, because that was an actual holocaust.
Around 3.5-5 million Ukrainians died during the Holodomor, which is still less than the 6 million Jews killed during the Holocaust. Either way, both genocides were atrocious.
Also, here’s a fun fact: The majority of Ukrainians are pro-Israel and Ukraine is the most pro-Israel country in Europe.
Oh, WE failed them? Lord Jesus, this is suchba ridiculous statement and video title! I’m starting to notice no matter how much you do for these people, whether it’s liberating them from WW2 horrors or establishing a country for them, they will always find some reason to point their fingers at us or others. I’ve never seen people with such a toxic victim mentality, almost never praising the soldiers and generals who liberated them. There are not even any statues of those who saved them in their own country. All they do is act like victims, always blaming, pointing fingers….it’s toxic.
And you wonder why they've been kicked out over a thousand times in less than 2000 years...
Now you know why they've been booted from so many places.
We DID fail them! Every major government and religious head was aware of what was happening to the Jews in Europe and NONE of them did anything to help them. In fact, Hitler made a joke about it saying, “FDR and Churchill are outraged by our treatment of our Jews, but they haven’t offered to help them.”
@@budgetcoinhunter A thousand is an exaggeration, but I get what you mean.
110 and never again
@@jamminjimmie211 I think its 112 now if its true that Yemen and Afghanistan booted them.
Who remembers the extermination of the Armenians today by the Ottoman Turks during the Great War? Adolf Hitler to his inner circle Aug 1939.
It was covered in the 2017 film The Promise.
You can politicize and point fingers all you want, but the fact remains that WW2 vets like my Dad volunteered and were willing to lay down their lives for people they didn't even know. Many of them never made it back to their loved ones. Many of them died and were lost in action. Many like my Dad were never the same - they call it PTSD today - back then they never addressed it but it haunted him forever. Grisley battles, hellish scenes, and fight till you win, or, die trying. Part of his regiment liberated Dacchau. No one representing the Jewish people ever thanked him or even acknowledged him. You're welcome anyway. Maybe one day someone will repay him the favor.
@Joy Mahiko
Nobody is blaming the brave US Soldiers for any of this !!!! The American Justice system and Immigrations is to blame for this !!!!
I think your Dad did a very brave and selfless thing to enlist in WWII. But that does not change the actions of our country before we got into the war. European countries were pleading for us to join the war and assist them for 2 years before we entered the war. We only entered because Pearl Harbor was attacked. Yes, we did help bring the end to WWII and saved many lives, which we were thanked for at the time and for many years since. I think you need to separate the facts of our country's denial of Jewish refugees with your father's participation in the Allied Forces defeat of Germany. They both happened and that is the truth. A country and it's people can make horrible decisions that cost thousands of lives and then 2 years later put their lives on the line to end the atrocities. It is human nature that we can be both cruel and selfless, hateful and loving. Your father was selfless and caring, and for that so many should give him our heartfelt thanks.
How about fighting for this country in every war since its inception, coming "home" and being killed by Americans...being denied human rights...had to settle for "civil"...because equal rights ...was asking way too much...this is not politics, these are facts. American likes to think that it was always this exceptional place in the world where only the highest ideals and purest motives were on display. Ask a Native American or an African American or even Asians that are familiar with the history of the Northern Pacific and the construction of the Railways in the West. Its just truth over fictional accounts for the sake of becoming a better, more humane society. Navy vet..13 years, Nuclear Power, ..God bless the USA!

@@ecuadorexpat8558 no. You ARE blaming the Americans. And while we are at it, how many of you thanked the Russians for the lives they saved while giving 11 million of theirs?
I guess with the new generations, it’s easier to elicit guilt. I’m old enough to be a part of the saved BY America story. Funny though, there’s no monuments to us. I guess that makes it easier to change.
I guess 10 million a day to Israel doesn’t cut it either. Everyone who said they were there plus their descendants get a first time payment of 35,000. Then 2,000 a month for life.
Everything’s free there too. Must be nice.
You are referencing the post WWII era! For the record, Israel didn’t want concentration camp survivors and those who made their way there were demonized and ostracized.
@@oldcollegecoed Why in the heck would Israel do that?
@@tadflinder831 Because they believed anyone who survived the concentration camps had to be in collusion with the Nazis, and they also believed that Jews should have died fighting the Nazis. Israelis called the survivors “human dust.”
“[When the survivors]…arrived in Israel, a very negative attitude developed against the majority of European Jews, who had not resisted the Nazis and who were now disparagingly called passive, wimpy, and gutless. It was even said that the European Jews had walked “like sheep to the slaughter” (Bauer 1989, 217ff). Attributes like gutlessness or weakness contradicted the fundamental values of Israeli society at the time. This dismissive attitude towards survivors was also partly based on the feelings of guilt of that part of Israeli society, which could not come to their siblings’ rescue during the Holocaust.”

Maybe you should watch the documentary first before getting on your soapbox.
Look for and watch the documentary: "Adolf Hitler - The Greatest Story Never Told"
I'm also curious about why the Christian population of Israel has almost completely disappeared since the 70's?
Way to stick to the topic 👍🙄
The same thing has happened throughout the Arab world. Most Christians in Israel are and have been Arabs. During the 1970's an increase in Muslim extremism started to take hold in most Muslim-majority countries and countries with a sizeable Muslim population. Look up pictures of Iran, Afghanistan, and Egypt before the 70's. You will notice that most people are dressed like westerners , especially women. There was university education for both genders. Lebanon was mostly a Christian country. Iraq and Syria had huge Christian minority populations that practiced their faith openly. There were many Israeli Arab cities with majority Christian populations, especially areas with Christian history. From the 70's this all changed. In Lebanon, there was a Muslim takeover after civil war to get control of the country. Afghanistan and Iran became extremist Islamic states. Iraq and Syria lost most of their Christian remnant when ISIS took power a few years ago. In Egypt, there is still persecution, and Christians are still leaving when they can. In Israel, most formerly Christian or Christian-majority Arab towns are now Muslim or Muslim-controlled. Christians are discriminated against by Muslim Arabs except for in the few areas were they are still in the majority and hold local political power. In the city of Haifa, there are some neighborhoods where you are more likely to find an Arab church than a synagogue or mosque.
@@Ashmo613 I'll be short, Arabia (Saudi Arabia) has laws against any religion other than Islam...they tolerate foreign servants...so never any population there of note.... And currently Iran's christian community is growing, has been...I appreciate the time you spent, but you're not accurate in the first few claims you express...you lost me in the first couple of sentences...I may be too simplistic about the subject, but data and world history rule 👍
@@treborretsnom6186 The original statement is the one that isn't quite correct. About 2 percent of the population of Israel is currently Christian. Israel has more Christians than some other counties in the region, and Christians in Israel have more religious freedom that others in the Middle East. In most Middle Eastern countries, conversions to Christianity aren't recognized, churches can't be built or repaired, and Christians are subject to hate-based acts of violence with little to no consequences for the attacker. In Israel, there are many churches; most are Arab Armenian, or Russian depending on the area. Please look it up.
I never mentioned Saudia Arabia, as there hasn't been a Christian community there since the first rise of Islam, as Christians were conquered, converted, or went elsewhere. On Iran, a large part of the Christian population did leave as a result of the revolution. The population growth is among those who didn't leave and corresponds to conditions being better in general in the country, but the number is still less than the total number there before the revolution. The current accepted number isn't even quite correct, as there is an underground of Christians who converted from Islam but can't come out as such as it wouldn't be recognized and they would be punished for apostasy. Most of the Christian population decline in Israel has been through emigration of Christian Arabs and conversion to Islam. Some is also from Russian immigrants with Jewish ancestry officially converting to Judaism.There is history, statistical data and journalism to back up every thing else I said. I didn't make it up.

My Late Dad, and myself, are realistic about what FDR could and could NOT do. The Great Depression was Alive and Well until about 1941 in America, when the Lend/Lease plan began employing millions of Americans in the War Industries. If he had let in millions of people, the Unions would have KILLED his chances in the 1940 Election!
He, BTW, was a German Jew. His parents and him made it to Portland, Oregon, from Germany, in the nick of time-in 1939. They had a sponsor.He fought in Italy at age 18, obtaining a Bronze Star, and translated at the Nuremberg trials. He later became a prominent scientist.
My Maternal Grandparents emigrated from Muncasz/Barbova, Hungary (now in Western Ukraine) in the Interwar period, and had my Late Mother in the 1920s. There were MANY left behind. Those were BIG Chasidic families. When Hitler invaded Hungary, in 1943 (for negotiating surrender with Stalin) they were All cattle-hauled to Auschwitz-Birkenau. Many were killed on arrival. Maybe six to eight people survived the War, in Poor condition, and, obviously, with PTSD. Most were able to emigrate to the US at that point, but a few settled in Israel.
Hitler actually did NOT prevent Austrian, German or Czech Jews from leaving their respective homelands. The Nazis were glad for "Undesirable" groups to be gone. But, when the routes of escape were cut off due to War, (after the Invasion of Poland, and France and UK declaring War on Germany) there was no longer a way Out.
In the 1930s millions of Americans had no idea what was happening in Europe. Millions of Americans were struggling day to day to survive the economic hardships of The Great Depression. Millions of Americans were displaced and lost their ranches and farms due to the Dust Bowl disaster. Thousands of Americans

I am here by virtue of the grace of this country and the opportunity she has afforded the immigrant. I am so sick of people denigrating our country and the sacrifices of our previous generations. False intellectuals love to look at things from their "modern perspective" without any regard for the lives lived and lost in that time period. It is intellectually lazy and self-serving, virtue signaling to act like every aspect of our historical past could have been done differently because you think you know better. Attitudes like this literally destroy the legacy of every human being who lived, fought, suffered and died so that we can all live in the safe, warm confines of our modern existence. No human being is perfect and no past can be either, but people like this are literally dumping on all of us by way of our historical ancestry for their own intellectual high ground. If you don't believe me then pause for a moment and consider that this is being debated by people with more access to knowledge, medical advancements, technology and creature comfort than ever before in human history. That we have not yet been plunged into the darkness of authoritarianism is enough for me to withhold judges, and just say 'thank you' to the generations past which facilitated my good life in my great country.

What’s disrespectful about Jewish people reminding African-Americans about what they went through is that they went through the holocaust in Germany. Germany is nowhere near America. America had nothing to do with the holocaust so if Jewish people want individuals to never forget they should go to Germany and make sure the Germans never forget don’t come to America on American soil, telling Black people who then humiliated, murdered, sold, and disrespected for over 400 years and tell those people about being sensitive to Jewish holocaust it’s INSANE!

You know whats funny about the Anne Frank story, the germans kept moving her from death camp to death camp in order to keep her away from deadly typhus, which she caught anyway. pretty strange for guys running death camps, to go through all that expense to save a life, dont you think?
And they even gave her a ballpoint pen to write her diary in, too! Where on earth did they find a ballpoint pen 10 years before it was invented?!
She was in two camps, Auschwitz and Bergen Belsen and the Nazis were certainly not interested in saving her. Where do you find this misinformation?!
Anne and her Sister BOTH died of Typhus. The reason they kept moving people was that the Soviets were encroaching on the Polish Death Camps, so their victims were marched West.
@@BackBackForwardLightning IDK what type of pen she used. She was writing that Diary when the family were in hiding in Amsterdam, Genius. I think it was hidden there. She did NOT have it with her anymore in Belsen.
Don't you think it would have been smarter for them to move German women west, since they were being raped by the millions by Soviet soldiers?
America and other countries in New world def.dropped the ball here. Yet Jews overwhelming supported FDR and Dems.
The US is quick to help and Liberate a People, if they have some Oil.
Well we're 30 trillion in debt. Apparently we got the crap end of the stick for watching the world's ocean commerce.
People can be horrible to each other
Indeed, the Old Testament taught me this more than any other set of stories in history.
@@KarlKarsnark The Old Testament is not history. It’s fiction
Indeed, people can be terrible when they fabricate huge lies to hang their enemies for 'war crimes', then keep the lies going for a century thereafter to cash in on huge 'reparations' and global sympathy for their collective interests.
You forgot to mention: too many are ungrateful for the sacrifices of these who had died to save them
If I have been expelled from more than 100 different schools, are the teachers bad or is it just that I cause way too much trouble? Hmm, guess it's never my fault...
Every similar video has the same comments that run counter to the video's narrative.
Love how Novick claims people don’t know the Franks tried to come to the US. Thanks to THIS very program announcing that on a Sunday more than two years ago, MOST people DO know. If she believes no one watches this on Sundays, why is she here?
The Truth is still the Truth even if no one believes it and a Lie is still a Lie even if everyone believes it!
Waiting to see if this film talks about how the US gov knew about Auschwitz-Birkanau but refused to bomb trains still going there in 1944.
Why bomb trains still going there? So, instead of the Jewish people dieing in a bombing raid or die in the gas chambers?
Your comment defeats the purpose.
Not the trains. The tracks.
That 1990s documentary America and thr Holocaust talked about that. It was narrated by Hal Linden.
That Goddamned democrat Roosevelt 👿
@@stuartlee6622 FDR wasn't nearly as bad as that God damn Republican Wilson who made the biggest mistake in the history of Civilization by giving women the right to vote.
If only we knew the full extent what was going on in Europe at that time. The U.S. should have done more when Jewish people wanted to come to the U.S, I read that the Franks tried to immigrate to the U.S. at that time. If only, Anne Frank and her family would have been alive today. Then again, on the bad side though, we wouldn't have had her perspective of the war, etc without her death.
And the mainstream media wonder why no one watches their programming anymore.
This actually happened. What is with you guys and wanting our true history to be denied? America is not all goodness, light and apple pie.
@@tabbyreed8925 Shame on you.

Agreed, why is Israel genociding the people of Palestine who have been there since it was "The Land of Canaan" . Why does Israel do this? Why does the US send them aid to do this? Please, reply rationally.
@@KarlKarsnark America has been sending aid to countries that I don’t agree with since I was born……early sixties. But what dumbfounds me most? The cult of maga blindly following someone I knew was going to sell America out! I called this out before he was president……..just ask my maga brother!
@@KarlKarsnark and what does this story have to do with anything you are talking about? If you conflate all Jews with Israel you must not know much about Jewish history

@@KarlKarsnarkI bet you like to call a lot of women sweetie. Creep Alert! 😬
America DID play a role in the Holocaust. The Nazis saw what we were doing with Native Americans and started out with similar policies on their Jewish population.
You can’t be real. 🤦♂️
The Bible says the Jews would be oppressed in land which they do not know until the return of Christ.
Is this a joke ...right?
I just cannot wrap my head around it. To think people treat others like that is unbelievable. I feel so very sorry.
It's unbelievable because it's untrue. Watch Europa The Last Battle and The Greatest Story Never Told.
@@ShillDozerTake your meds.
What happened to Jewish people was HORRIBLE which is why i i dont understand how israel can treat the Palestinians the way they do.
Ask the Arabs, Palestinians and Muslims why they murdered and kicked out nearly one million Middle Eastern Jews in 1948 that were forced to escape to Israel with nothing but the clothes on their backs.
No doubt that one of many reasons why our troops weren't sent in earlier to help is the amount of information the U.S. could gather AFTER the nazis ran their inhumane medical experiments, including tortures and mine control, for several years.
When did we find out about the holocaust?
@@joebrewer4529 The government found out about the Holocaust in August of 1942.
@@joebrewer4529 Oh, sorry. When was the real time?
What about the Palestine Cause? Will the be a film on "The US and Palestine Cause"?
PS Anyone that Reads the Holy Bible should thank the JEWS for their Blood Sweat and Tears.
And now they're literally doing the same to the Palestinians. Just replace the labels.
Over the years, in watching various films, documentaries and exhibits regarding the Holocaust, it is clear that more could have been done to assist the Jewish people of Europe during the 1930s. No one should dispute that. But I suppose if there is one lingering question that comes up over and over again whenever we see or hear about atrocities happening throughout the world in places such as Rwanda, Syria, Bosnia, Kosovo or the Middle East, that question is, how much can and should the United States assist in these areas? Should the United States be the world's policeman in handling international conflicts? Perhaps each conflict and each atrocity needs to be looked at on a case by case basis, but it seems to me that even when an armed conflict rises up in the world, even if it has nothing at all to do directly with the U.S., many throughout the world will still point to the U.S. and say, "Okay, what are the Americans going to do about this?"
Hmmm. Very different issues…. Genocide, of millions of Jews, vs military conflict. They are completely different things. What we do in the US, or what we don’t do, is most often all about the money. Can the rich get richer if we get involved? Who are the political players? Russia? China? Are we competing with them? Why were we in Vietnam? The US only needed to open its doors to a group who were being murdered by the the German ppl and the world knew it. The US acted out of its own anti-Semitic biases. I married in 1969 & EVEN then there was an exclusive club in NY that did NOT ALLOW Jews. (I married into a Jewish family.) why did we spend trillions on the Iraq War, yet do not go to the aid of the Ukraine? It’s ALL about the money. Plus, who paid for the Germans to pull off the Holocaust? there’s a big book on the topic, was it Henry Ford, and the Catholic Church, among others? The world needs a scapegoat and it’s been the Jews for a long long time.
@@janetpattison8474 You bring up some good points. No question there was anti-semitism here in the U.S. just like in Europe. The only thing I would disagree with is that the U.S. is helping Ukraine. We may not have boots on the ground there (yet) but we have not abandoned them.
The United States cannot be the better women's shelter for the entire world. No country can do that!
That's a fair point.

TO ME, THAT IS JUST AN IGNORANT STUPIDITY. OR JUST A GD "LAZINESS", OR MERELY A "FOLLY" IN THINKING!! TO ALLOW SOMETHING EVIL TO GROW AROUND US AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT?! THAT IS, TO ME, SIMPLY GIVING INTO IT, SO THAT IT CAN EVENTUALLY "TOUCH" OR "TAKE OVER" US, TOO!!
Hindsight is so easy.
This has nothing to do with hindsight but with the selfish cruelty of Americans
Why would anyone want to make it illegal to question the WWII narrative? If something is true, and if you and your people suffered, you would want to shine a spotlight on the matter.
