Holocaust Rememberence Day is tomorrow. To commemorate, Jordana is joined by Holocaust Historian Rebecca Erbelding to discuss the day and what we need to remember.

Years before Adolph Hitler obtained power, and in the decades before the Third Reich brought “the manufacture of mass death to its pitiless consummation” in the words of the late military historian John Keegan, the seeds were planted of America's callous and ineffective response to the Nazi persecution of Europe's Jews. As director Ken Burns shows in his searing new documentary “The U.S. and the Holocaust,” hostility to immigration coexisted with America's reputation as a land of opportunity during an era that saw millions of Europeans make their way to Ellis Island. But a long-simmering nativist backlash combined with the junk science of eugenics to produce federal legislation in 1924 severely restricting emigration to the United States based on nation of origin. These quotas, which enjoyed widespread public and political support, would prevent hundreds of thousands of Jews from escaping Europe when they had a chance. In this episode, author and historian Rebecca Erbelding, an expert on the U.S. response to the Nazi genocide at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum and an independent scholarly advisor to the Burns documentary, discusses the ways in which antisemitism, nativism, and isolationism contributed to the failure to save more Jewish lives. Americans expressed revulsion at Nazi violence, but the outrage did not lead to a more welcoming attitude toward refugees.

Many of us think we know and understand what happened during the Holocaust, but do we really understand how the United States responded? This is the subject of a new PBS documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns.  The U.S. and the Holocaust details the events that led to the Holocaust and how America closed its borders to thousands of Jews who sought refuge in the United States during this time. The film also explores whether America, a “nation of immigrants”, really lives up to the ideals it claims. The three-part, six-hour series, The U.S. and the Holocaust premieres Sunday, September 18, 2022, on Houston Public Media TV-8 at 7pm CT.  Episode two airs Tuesday, September 20, 2022, at 7pm CT and episode three airs Wednesday, September 21, 2022 at 7pm CT.  It also airs on PBS.org and PBS Passport. Dr. Rebecca Erbelding, historian from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum, and featured in the film, offers her insight on the Holocaust and how important it is to keep history alive. Sharing her first-hand account of her experience is Ruth Steinfeld, a Holocaust survivor.  She shares the hardships and prejudice she faced as a child, and how she uses her story to educate people on why it's so important to stop something like the Holocaust from happening again. Laurie Garcia, from the Houston Holocaust Museum, discusses the museums role in educating the public about the Holocaust. Guests: Ken Burns Documentary Filmmaker Dr. Rebecca Erbelding Historian, U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum Author, “Rescue Board” Ruth Steinfeld Holocaust Survivor Laurie Garcia Senior Associate Director of Education Houston Holocaust Museum Town Square with Ernie Manouse is a gathering space for the community to come together and discuss the day's most important and pressing issues.

While visiting Vienna, Austria with her family in March 1938, American Helen Baker finds herself caught up in a pivotal moment. She watches as the Nazis move in and annex Austria. Then, she steps into the story, herself. Featuring historian Dr. Rebecca Erbelding.

This week at In The Past Lane, the history podcast, I speak with historian Rebecca Erbelding about her new book, Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe. It’s a fascinating book about a forgotten World War II story about the War Refugee Board, a US agency created in 1944 to help save European Jews from the Nazi genocide. Historians and other scholars have long argued that the US could have done more to disrupt the Nazi efforts to exterminate the Jews of Europe. Erbelding acknowledges the validity of this claim, but says that it’s not the same as saying the US did nothing. She chronicles the work of the War Refugee Board and how it managed, often through creative and off the books ways, to save tens of thousands of Jews in the last 20 months of World War II. In the course of our discussion, Rebecca Erbelding explains: Why US government officials initially resisted demands that it do something to save European Jews from the Nazi genocide. How the War Refugee Board was created by the US government in 1944 to save Jews from the Holocaust.  Why President Franklin D. Roosevelt authorized the creation of the War Refugee Board to save as many European Jews as possible during World War II.  How the US government used threats of post-war prosecution via propaganda to dissuade Europeans from carrying out atrocities against Jews.    How the War Refugee Board used deception to get food and medicine into Nazi concentration camps during World War II. How the Nazis, aware that Americans wanted to save Jews from the concentration camps, offered to release some in exchange for money, food, and war equipment. How the Goodyear Tire Company secretly helped the W.R.B. save thousands of lives during World War II.     Recommended reading:  Rebecca Erbelding, Rescue Board: The Untold Story of America's Efforts to Save the Jews of Europe  Deborah E.
