How Hollywood Tackled Fascism In Film To Build American Support For WWII

Hollywood's Golden Age and the rise of fascism in Europe were
happening at the same time, a world apart. Those worlds collided
when Hollywood decided to tackle fascism in film. The United States
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. opened the exhibit
Americans and the Holocaust last year. Now, a traveling event
focuses on how depictions of the Nazi agenda influenced American
audiences, and why we fought. The event, called What Were We
Watching? Americans Response to Nazism Through Cinema, Radio and
Media , takes place Tuesday night at the National Center for Civil
and Human Rights.
