Beginning with the tragic events of Kristallnacht in 1938 and extending through the liberation of the death camps in 1945, "America and the Holocaust" explores the painful and difficult story of America's response to the murder of six million Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators.  Using interviews, archival photos and documents, and home movies and film from the time, the program traces the tragic story of America's inaction on two levels:  through the experiences of Kurt Klein, a Jewish refugee trying to save his parents, and through documented evidence of the U.S. government's official policy.  As early as 1942, validated stories of the Nazi campaign to exterminate the Jews surfaced in Washington.  Yet a "paper wall" of bureaucratic red tape and an isolationist and anti-Semitic political climate obstructed the emigration of Jewish refugees.  When a coalition of forces led by Robert Morganthau and Will Rogers, Jr. forced President Roosevelt to recognize the crisis and to act, the War Refugee Board was finally created in 1944.  While it was able to save 200,000 lives, it was too little, too late for many Jewish refugees including Kurt Klein's parents.

Grant, meets the South's Albert S. Johnston in a battle called Shiloh:   a Hebrew word meaning "place of peace".  For two days 100,000 men slam viciously into each other.  At the end, the Union holds the field, and 23,000 soldiers have fallen:  the same losses was Waterloo.  And there are another 20 Waterloos to come.
