Question: Using evidence from the documentary, The U.S. and the Holocaust, discuss the following questions:
- How did the documentary change your understanding or perspective about the Holocaust? If it didn’t change it, explain why.
- Given your knowledge of the Holocaust, how would you characterize America’s response to it based on the film? Should or could it have done more to save more European Jews?
Instructions: Your discussion posts have two parts. First, submit your main post, which is your response to the topic question above. Your main post should be about one paragraph long. You should write everything in your own words unless you are quoting a source. You must cite your source or sources using simple, MLA-style in-text citations. For example, (U.S. and the Holocaust, Episode 2). Please be sure to cite the episode!
You must also respond to at least 2 other students’ posts. Your responses should be at least three sentences and not merely agree or disagree with a student’s post but explain why. Responses might also address new topics and questions that a student’s post raises. While disagreement is fine, rudeness and disrespect are not. Please treat others how you would want to be treated in these discussion forums.
