About the Program
Jurgen Matthaus and Mark Roseman recall the Eastern European Jewish population's thoughts on the rise of Adolf Hitler from 1933 to 1938. The editors culled their findings from a collection of Jewish diaries and letters that questioned if Hitler's tenure would pass without need for concern, if he was as radical as believed, and if Jews needed to leave their home countries out of concern for their lives. Jurgen Matthaus and Mark Roseman are joined by a group of Holocaust survivors who read from letters and diary entries at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC.
