On August 17, 1941 the Knoxville News Sentinel ran a short story about Oswiecim concentration camp. The paper printed the story nearly four months before the United States entered World War II. Today, Oswiecim concentration camp is called Auschwitz. As the world witnesses the final days of survivors who can testify about their experiences in the Holocaust, many questions remain. What did Americans know? How did they respond nationally and locally? What was known in Tennessee? How did Tennesseans react and respond to news of the persecution of the Jewish people? This session explores those questions, and also provides tools to ensure stories of Tennesseans who survived the Holocaust are remembered and shared.
