a history to be reckoned with

As proud Americans who honestly believe in this country and its people — this documentary is a brazen eye opener. The Holocaust has many lessons it can yet teach — pray we remain alert and attentive.

We Americans may consider the US a “nation of immigrants,” but as the catastrophe of the Holocaust unfolded in Europe, the United States proved unwilling to open its doors — fearing foreign invasion from both Germany and its fleeing refugees.

No more than a fraction of the hundreds of thousands of desperate people seeking refuge were even considered. A practice the government still upholds to this day for all refugees — even those from its own wars and invasions.

History cannot be looked at in isolation. While we rightly celebrate American ideals of democracy and our history as a nation of immigrants, we must also grapple with the fact that American institutions and policies — like segregation and the brutal treatment of indigenous populations — were influential in Hitler’s Germany.

We encourage one and all to watch and learn about American history, government, and behavior. A global cautionary tale of heartbreak and horror.
