Podcast Overview
Starting Monday, September 23, 2024 from The National WWII Museum, Antisemitism: The Fight in WWII America is a five-part podcast series exploring the battle against antisemitism in prewar America and during World War II as well as the legacy of these efforts, which continue today.
We begin in 1938, examining voices who were sympathetic to Nazism, while also highlighting voices who raised public awareness of the ongoing mass murder of Europe’s Jewish populations. The first two episodes examine American groups sympathetic to the Nazi; the next two focus on organizations that countered antisemitism during the war. The fifth and final episode looks at the legacy of liberation today.
