Producing Silence: Hollywood, the Holocaust, and the Jews Exhibition Opening

Hwood CoverProducing Silence: Hollywood, the Holocaust, and the Jews Exhibition Opening

Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives

Queensborough Community College CUNY

222-05 56th Avenue Bayside, NY 11364

Lecturer: Rabbi Isidoro Aizenberg
Drs. Bebe and Owen Bernstein Lecture 

For Spring 2016, the KHRCA discusses the impact of the Holocaust, the Nazi party, and antisemitism and its effect on the production and censorship of the American film industry. This exhibit is an attempt to capture and explore some of the tensions that Hollywood faced during the 1930-1942 years. The industry was aware of its enormous potential to influence public opinion, and yet was submitting to German and American pressure to negotiate its way with Nazi bureaucrats until a few years after the outbreak of the war. Curated and research by KHRCA Scholar-in-Residence Rabbi Isidoro Aizenberg, we will hold a series of events in connection with this exhibit including film screenings and lectures. Join us for the official public opening as Rabbi Isidoro Aizenberg discusses the process of research that led to development of this new exhibition. www.qcc.cuny.edu/khrca
