Book Discussion: Beyond Belief: The American Press & the Coming of the Holocaust 1933 - 1945

Book Discussion: Beyond Belief: The American Press & the Coming of the Holocaust 1933 - 1945 by Deborah Lipstadt.  One of the big questions debated in discussions of the Holocaust and one that our current traveling exhibit hopes to answer, is what Americans knew about events in Europe and how soon did they know it.  Special UN ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, famous for her court case against a noted Holocaust denier, strives to answer that question in this powerful book that takes a deep dive into America in the first half of the twentieth century and our news sources.  Please join us for a discussion of this fascinating book.

This discussion is part of the supporting programming for "Americans and the Holocaust," a traveling exhibit from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in conjunction with the American Library Association.
