Ken Burns is a leftist propagandist and hopefully future generations remember as such.
Why does Burns hate America?
I hate that f*ckin smug elitist cuck
Burns is a longtime supporter of the Democratic Party, contributing almost $40,000 in political donations.
In 2008, the Democratic National Committee chose Burns to produce the introductory video for Senator Ted Kennedy’s August 2008 speech to the Democratic National Convention, a video described by Politico as a “Burns-crafted tribute casting him [Kennedy] as the modern Ulysses bringing his party home to port.”
In August 2009, Kennedy died, and Burns produced a short eulogy video at his funeral. In endorsing Barack Obama for the U.S. presidency in December 2007, Burns compared Obama to Abraham Lincoln. He said he had planned to be a regular contributor to Countdown with Keith Olbermann on Current TV.
In 2016, he also gave a commencement speech for Stanford University criticizing Donald Trump.
In 2020, Burns endorsed Ed Markey in the Massachusetts Senate Democratic Primary.
FDR DESPISED Jews, just as the Democrats today do. But since Jews support Democrat polices and provide MASSIVE amounts of money, Democrats will continue to fake ‘liking’ Jews.
Ken Burns distorts everything, to suit his preferred narrative.
Shelby Foote was appalled at how Burns edited and butchered his contributions to his “ Civil War “ series.
The three biggest events where FDR demonstrated he didn’t give a fig about the Jews were:
1, the conferences on the Jewish refugee question held in 1938 in Evian, France, and Bermuda in 1943. In both cases it was unanimously agreed that something needed to be done but no one (America included) volunteered to be the one to do the something.
And this was at a time when Hitler was publicly stating that he wouldn’t interfere if a foreign country would take the Jews off his hands and grant them asylum elsewhere. In other words, it was opportunity to save all the 6 million who were murdered, but no on cared enough to put forth the effort.
2, The 1939 voyage of the SS St Louis, AKA “The Voyage of the Damned,” a chartered passenger liner carrying some 937 German Jewish refugees. Most were refused entry at Havana harbor so the ship proceeded to sail up the east coast of America, but FDR ordered the Coast Guard to deny the St Lewis entry into US waters.
Finding no entry into either the US or Canada, the St Louis eventually returned to Europe and roughly a third of its Jewish passengers ended up dying at the hands of the NAZIs.
Thank you, FDR.
1933 was the height of the Great Depression.
Ken Burns blame whitey for everything except killing the Jewish people.
FDR would have been comfortable living in Martha’s Vineyard.
And where the FDR policies redlined Jewish areas in philadelphia preventing banks from making real estate loans. Thus creating the Ghettos that now exist in North and west Philly.
Two Jewish men escaped from Auschwitz in January of 1944, having committed to memory detailed information of the operation of the camp and the killings in the gas chambers, to include the names of hundreds who had been murdered. By the time that information reached the Allied powers it was too inconveniently close to D-Day and they wouldn’t/couldn’t risk siphoning off assets from the invasion in order to save the prisoners there.
But the escapees weren’t asking that the Allies save the prisoners at Auschwitz. They wanted Auschwitz bombed and the prisoners killed. Because no one could say how long before the camp might be liberated, and ending their suffering as soon as possible would have been a mercy.
But that wasn’t the first time the West learned that the Nazis were murdering Jews on an industrial scale. Surviving records Show that Washington (and FDR) had come to that knowledge at least by 1938.
Huh? That's the size of California and Texas combined.
Ingrates.
What right does Burns have to re-victimize the innocent victims of that darkest page in history?
Was FDR just overly concerned that Germans, Jewish or otherwise, might end up being spies?
He certainly was suspicious of Japanese Americans.
What about the St. Louis?
ken burns is definitely even more troubling
you know ken is lying cuz he is a LEFTIST
FDR hated Jews
I plan on skipping this.
