The United States during the 1930s, as Nazism came to power in Germany and spread to Central Europe, itself was the scene of heightened action and talk against "the Jews." Who were the Americans who joined in this chorus, some of which extolled Hitler and what motivated them? Did they actually represent a real threat? This talk explores 1930s America and the ways some Americans pinned the blame for their unease and distress on Jews, those at home and those abroad.

Dr. Hasia Diner is the Paul and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History at New York University and is the author of 12 books, including We Remember with Reverence and Love: American Jews and the Myth of Silence after the Holocaust, 1945 - 1962, and From Arrival to Incorporation: Migrants to the U.S. in a Global Age. This program is organized and hosted by the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Education at the College of Sant Elizabeth and is cosponsored by Drew University's Center for Holocaust/Genocide Study.
