- Dr. Steven Alan Carr delivers a lecture entitled, "Hollywood, the Holocaust, and the Crisis Over Propaganda," as part of the fifth annual Esther and George Kessler Lecture on Jewish Film and Media. Using rare multimedia excerpts of films, speeches, industry memos and copies of original Hollywood publicity, Carr demonstrates how the concept of propaganda became a lightning rod for debates over the so-called Jewish control of the media, especially in Hollywood. He also says that this fear of Jewish control often lead to the depiction of World War II as essentially a Jewish war in which America had no business intervening. Carr is introduced by Dr. Kenneth Waltzer, Director of the Michigan State University Jewish Studies Program. Carr answers questions from the audience. Part of the Michigan State University Libraries' Colloquia Series. Held at the MSU Main Library.
