Americans and the Holocaust

Hollywood, Nazism, and the Holocaust

Q&A with author Steven Alan Carr on Hollywood, Nazism, and the Holocaust

Meet the author of "The Holocaust and Hollywood Studios at Home and Abroad, 1933-1948" for an informal discussion of his upcoming book tracing the complex and messy relationship entangling Nazi anti-Semitism and the Holocaust throughout the 1930s and '40s. Carr is a film and media historian who was a 2002-03 Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies Fellow with the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC. He is Director of the Purdue University Fort Wayne Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, the only academic center of its kind in Indiana devoted to the study of the Holocaust and other genocides. He also is the author of "Hollywood and Anti-Semitism: A Cultural History Up to World War II" (Cambridge U P, 2001) and many other published works on film and television.

In conjunction with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum and the American Library Association's Americans and the Holocaust: A Traveling Exhibition for Libraries, the Kokomo-Howard County Public Library has planned an accompanying event series to explore important themes related to the exhibition. This event is part of that series.
