Reporting on the Times. The New York Times and the Holocaust
Description
A short documentary film inspired by Laura Leff's award-winning book Buried by The Times. The film explores how The New York Times handled reports of the Holocaust during World War II. It also investigates why The Times, a Jewish owned newspaper, buried more than one thousand articles in its back pages. Was it simply an oversight? Or did the publishers and editors fear an American anti-Semitic backlash? Through interviews and testimony of a Holocaust survivor, historians, and New York Times journalists, Reporting on The Times encourages audiences to re-evaluate America's place as "The Great Liberator."
