Dr. Rebecca Erbelding demonstrates an interactive feature in Americans and the Holocaust. US Holocaust Memorial Museum
7 p.m. CT | 8 p.m. ET | 5 p.m. PT
As the Museum prepares for the 2021 Midwest Virtual Event, please join us for a behind-the-scenes look into the institution’s special exhibition, Americans and the Holocaust. It examines the motives, pressures, and fears that shaped Americans’ responses to Nazism, war, and the persecution and murder of Jews in Europe during the 1930s and 1940s.
Dr. Rebecca Erbelding, a Museum historian, will guide us through the history, themes, and artifacts presented throughout the exhibition. The Museum’s mandate encourages visitors to ask difficult questions. Americans and the Holocaust prompts them to ask, what did Americans know and what more could have been done?
To learn more about the Museum’s urgent mission to educate about the Holocaust and confront antisemitism, register for the 2021 Midwest Virtual Event, to be held on September 23 at noon CT.
