Beschrijving
Discusses the reasons for the silence of Hollywood films on the Shoah during the period 1933-1945 in spite of many of the movie moguls being Jewish. Some of the reasons discussed are the rise of anti-semitiism in America, American isolationism, reluctance to portray the war as a 'Jewish war' and fear of reprisals against Jews in Europe.
