This exhibition is a portrait of American society that shows how the Depression, isolationism, xenophobia, racism, and antisemitism shaped responses to Nazism and the Holocaust. It reveals how much information was available to Americans at the time and asks why rescuing Jews did not become a priority, except for a few individuals who took the risk to help.

Watch a tour of the exhibition led by curator Dr. Daniel Greene, explore our online exhibition, or visit a stop on the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition.

Lead sponsor Jeannie & Jonathan Lavine generously supported this special exhibition. Other major support was provided by the Bildners—Joan & Allen z”l, Elisa Spungen & Rob, Nancy & Jim; and Jane and Daniel Och. These donors provided additional support.

The Museum’s exhibitions are also supported by the Lester Robbins and Sheila Johnson Robbins Traveling and Special Exhibitions Fund, established in 1990.
