New Exhibition Examines ‘Americans and the Holocaust’

The story of the Holocaust is not just a European story, but an international one.

A new exhibition at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum looks at the ways in which America responded – or didn’t – to the atrocities committed by the Nazis.

Joining Chicago Tonight for a conversation is the exhibition’s curator, Daniel Greene. He is an adjunct professor of history at Northwestern University.
