America and the Holocaust: Myth versus Reality

Tim Crain, PhD, is the former director of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education at Seton Hill University. The Holocaust took the lives of nearly six million Jews between 1941 and 1945. The United States Government knew that the mass murder of the Jews was taking place in 1942, but did little to stop the genocide. The presentation will explore the American response to the Holocaust, as well as review what could have been done to end the mass murder. The United States believed that the best way to rescue Jews was to win World War II as rapidly as possible. The decision remains controversial to the present day.
This program is a collaboration with the Waupaca Area Public Library which is hosting the traveling exhibit Americans and the Holocaust Nov 7 - Dec 19.
This program is sponsored by all of us in memory Glenda Rhodes.
