As was inevitable.
I’ll have an article on Ken Burns exploiting the Holocaust to call for open borders and bash Republicans while covering up FDR’s role in the Holocaust later this week, but the sheer awfulness of it can be summed up in this paragraph from the equally antisemitic Guardian which never stops calling for the destruction of the Jewish State or justifying the murder of Jews.
It may be Burns’s most didactic film yet as it ends provocatively with images of Dylann Roof, who shot and killed nine African American congregants at a church in South Carolina; white supremacists marching with flaming torches in Charlottesville, Virginia, chanting

It’s hard to believe that a man as educated and experienced as Ken Burns doesn’t know what Nazism actually involved, so I can only assume that his casting of Republicans as Nazis is a case of deliberate misrepresentation — aimed at a leftist audience that “prefers to believe what it prefers to be true.”

Disgraceful Ken Burns made one good documentary, The Civil War in 1989, and then once he was successful, he let his leftism show. I would think a documentary on the Holocaust would end with the Nuremburg Trials (1946) with any coverage past that to involve periodic arrests of Nazi war criminals. Absolutely no comparison with present day US.

He's making an embarrasing fool of himself. This highlights the liberal hate and stupidity.

Is he working inline with the 1619 project author's fancy? All the wailing & gnashing of teeth over supposed book banning but this fabricated hogwash will pass for AP high school history credit if Death To America progs get their way.

I watched part of this and couldn't believe how they covered up of Roosevelt's role. You know, the Democrat icon, who also put US citizens and legal residents of Japanese descent in concentration camps. As for the Jews, it was the evil State Department that was filled with Republicans (apparently) who turned the European Jews away. And the irony was, that what the documentary said about Hitler--government-controlled press, one party rule, indoctrination of children, everyone had to believe the same thing, was a lot like the modern-day Democrats.

Ken Burns, like many content creators, has done good and/or great work in the past. His Lewis and Clark series was outstanding. However, it went to his head and he now believes his is a superior morality and intellect. Humble is not even in his lexicon.

Nobody is like the Nazis, but the Democrats have copied a lot of their methods.

Burns isn't alone in this, nationalism scares too many people. He exploits and perpetuates willful ignorance in his ugliest fashion to date. So many of his fans think they're smart, embarrassingly not the case.

It is important to watch this. You have to sort out the history, and put aside the anri-repblican slant.
Simultaneously, you must remember that there was a strong Communist influence on emerging American unions, often involving American Jews. The CIO was separated from the American Federation of Labor in 1935, in part, because of communist affiliations.
When the AFL and CIO re-merged in 1955, one of the conditions of member unions membershipshad to certify that they were not communist dominated.
The 1930s era is a tough era to understand. Burns skips over, too lightly, the role of the Catholic Church beyond Father Coughlin. I was taught by the nuns, in the early 1950s, that each living Jew was responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. The Catholic Church position on Jews did not change until Vatican II.
So my recommendation to you people is to watch the show.

Of course he did. In doing so, Ken Burns just trivialized the Nazis. Burns should be ashamed of himself, but he's not. Burns is a dolt and a dumb ass.

Burns's series on the Civil War was, I thought, good history, well worth a viewer's time. That program was well done; none of Burns's political proclivities were obvious in 1990. After that good start, Burns went downhill. His jazz program was disappointing. Ditto for the Vietnam show. His baseball documentary prominently featured Mario Cuomo, over and over. I finally turned off the television. Mario Cuomo ain't my idea of a baseball great.
The war we fought against the Nazis was the right thing to do, and I'm glad we killed enough of them to bring the war to a close. To be conflated with our battlefield enemies by Ken Burns disqualifies him from the discussion. He's an evil person now, calling us what he himself is. Burn in Hell, Ken.

Like everything he does White , bigoted Americans are to blame. His schtick got old long ago. And now he can’t wait to get the US embroiled in another European war . And he has this idiot Biden who thinks he is the new FDR ready to go just that.

Ken Burns the real Nazi making entertainment for the crowd who watches MSNBC for news, the evening entertainment of the View and history lesson from PBS with Ken Burns. Little boring jerkweed.

Just another reason why PBS is mostly trash and needed to be gotten rid of. Also Burns has always been a leftist hack and since he's older TDS has made him lose his mind.
