This program discusses the roles and actions of the major stakeholders in the United States to the humanitarian crisis in Europe against the backdrop of the Great Depression.
This program is postponed, and will be rescheduled for a later date.
This program is presented by Dr. Barbara Krasner, Young Adult Author and Director of Holocaust & Genocide Studies at Mercer County Community College. While most historians agree that the nation's response was inadequate to address the humanitarian crisis in Europe, and that a more forceful and effective rescue policy might have saved many lives, they disagree about what was realistically possible to accomplish under the circumstances. In this program, we'll discuss the roles and actions of the major stakeholders, including President Roosevelt and his advisors, cabinet members and their staffs, and religious leaders against the backdrop of the Great Depression, the stance against foreign immigration, and the German-American Bund movement (including New Jersey's Camp Nordland). Registration is required. This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Toms River Library.
