A Year That Mattered:
Varian Fry and the Refugee Crisis, 1940 - 41
Presentations by historian Daniel Greene and filmmaker Pierre Sauvage

German victory over France in June of 1940 brought new dangers for those who sought refuge from Nazi persecution in that country after Hitler's appointment to power in 1933.

Historian Daniel Greene and documentary filmmaker Pierre Sauvage bring their expertise to a discussion about what Americans knew about Nazi policies toward the Jews and the actions that were or were not taken by the U.S. government, private organizations and individuals.
