Project Witness Presents Dr. Rafael Medoff In a Two-Part Webinar on America's Response to the Holocaust

On Wednesday evening, April 29, Project Witness presented the first in a two-part series on America's Response to the Holocaust. This series features Dr. Rafael Medoff, author of 20 books on the Holocaust and Founding Director of The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies in Washington, D.C.

The event was chaired by Mrs. Blimie Twerski, the Project Witness Conference Coordinator. In her introductory remarks Mrs. Twerski asked the following questions relating to the period spanning 1933-1941 that was the topic of the first webinar: Did America know what was going on? When did America find out? Was America interested in getting involved? Could it have done so?

In his highly-informative and skillfully-presented lecture, Dr. Medoff answered all of these questions by highlighting America's immigration policy, U.S. relations with Nazi Germany, the Evian Conference, the U. S. response to Kristallnacht, the voyage of the St. Louis; and the Wagner-Roger Child Refugee Bill.
