Ken Burns Explores America’s Inaction During the Holocaust

“The U.S. and the Holocaust,” coming to PBS Sept. 18, examines the reasons behind the country’s inadequate response to Germany’s persecution of Jews.

Oh my God, this is just never going to end. SEVENTY-SEVEN YEARS after WWII ended and we're still on the Holocaust. Okay it was inadequate, we should have bombed the railroad lines going to the camps, no, we should have bombed them before we were even at war, we should have declared war in 1938, we should have bombed the camps and killed all the Jews in the camps so when we liberated them there wouldn't be any live Jews,we didn't do anything, forget "inadequate," we didn't help defeat Hits, my uncle was not killed by the Nazis because he was trying to kill Nazis, he was just looking for a good mountain to ski, we didn't do anything because secretly we wanted Hits to kill all the Jews, is that what you want to hear?

Oh, and Burns: you need to go remake your Civil War thing. That Lincoln guy really was inadequate. He went to the theater on the wrong night and he's a hero? He should have emancipated all the slaves his first day in the White House, my great-grandfather wasn't killed by the slavers because he was trying to kill slavers, he was just sightseeing at Fredericksburg.
