Victoria Barnett Extended Interview

Clip: 11/8/2013 | 9m 11s

Watch more of our interview about Kristallnacht with historian Victoria Barnett.

Kristallnacht, says this historian who directs the US Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust, was a pogrom, an escalation of violence against the Jewish population at a time when America was heavily isolationist: “There were a variety of factors that made people turn away from actively helping the Jews just as they really needed the help the most.”
