"Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration and Complicity in the Holocaust""Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration and Complicity in the Holocaust"
Sunday, February 16, 2020 - 12:00 am to Sunday, March 8, 2020 - 12:00 am
Millions of ordinary people witnessed the crimes of the Holocaust. "Some Were Neighbors: Collaboration and Complicity in the Holocaust," produced by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., explores how "neighbors"--workers, teenagers, policemen, religious leaders, business associates, teachers and friends--made individual choices that amounted to collaboration, complicity and, less frequently, resistance with regard to Nazi Germany’s persecution and murder of Jews.
