The KHRCA unveils its newest original exhibition discussing the impact of the Holocaust, the Nazi party, and antisemitism and its effect on the production and censorship of the American film industry. This exhibit is an attempt to capture and explore some of the tensions that Hollywood faced during the 1930-1942 years. The industry was aware of its enormous potential to influence public opinion, and yet was submitting to German and American pressure to negotiate its way with Nazi bureaucrats until a few years after the outbreak of the war. Curated and research by KHRCA Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Isidoro Aizenberg, we will hold a series of events in connection with this exhibit including film screenings and lectures.
