The U.S. and the Holocaust
This documentary series, inspired in part by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s “Americans and the Holocaust” exhibition and supported by its historical resources, explores the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany within the broader context of global antisemitism and racism, the eugenics movement in the United States, and race laws in the American South.

Did you or a loved one work on The U.S. and the Holocaust?
Every stage matters — pitch decks and treatments from development, location scouts and table-reads from pre-production, set photos and crew anecdotes from production, edit-bay notes from post, and press kits, festival memories, or marketing ephemera from distribution. Any moment that didn't make the press tour, any document or photograph that's been sitting in a box — please share it so it's not lost to time.
We particularly welcome contributions from writers, producers, cast, crew, festival programmers, distributors, marketing teams, their families, and anyone who was there at any stage.
