Witness to History: Americans Abroad in Hitler's Europe

In order to understand why the Holocaust happened, it is vital to study the 1920s and 1930s, the years when the Holocaust could have been prevented.  Join us for an intimate discussion with Andrew Nagorski, author of Hitlerland: American Eyewitnesses to the Nazi Rise to Power, and Arthur Berger, senior advisor at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, for a compelling glimpse of that period from the perspective of the fascinating array of Americans who lived and work in Berlin during Hitler's rise to power. Accompanied by rarely seen archival footage from the Museum's collections, this eye-opening account offers a totally new perspective not only on what was known, but also on what actions might have been taken to stop Germany's domination of Europe and, ultimately, the Holocaust.
