The US and the Holocaust (Beginnings-1938) episode 1: How the land of immigrants faced the reality of Holocaust refugees. Did the nation fail to live up to its ideals? Powerful documentary by Ken Burns, Lynn Novick and Sarah Botstein. After decades of open borders, a xenophobic backlash prompts the United States to pass laws restricting immigration. In Germany, Hitler finds support for his anti-Semitic rhetoric, and the Nazis begin their persecution of Jewish people, causing many to flee to neighbouring countries or America. Franklin D Roosevelt and other world leaders are concerned by the growing refugee crisis, but they fail to coordinate a response.
