DHHRM | What Are We Fighting For? Dwight Eisenhower and the Holocaust

General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, was familiar with the horrors of war. However, he was stunned by what he saw in April 1945 when visiting Ohrdruf Concentration Camp, the first Nazi camp liberated by American troops. He invited the media and others to document the dead, dying, and starving prisoners. Eisenhower's defeat of Nazi Germany took on a moral hue. The Holocaust profoundly influenced his leadership of the United States and the Western Alliance during the Cold War. Join us to hear Jason S. Lantzer, Ph.D., author of Dwight Eisenhower and the Holocaust: A History, examine the conviction that shaped Eisenhower’s presidency and solidified American engagement in the postwar world.
