To commemorate this week, Channel 2 is airing the moving and celebrated documentary. Shoah, Monday-Thursday, April 1-4, at midnight. With a title taken from the Hebrew word for “chaos” or “annihilation, ” the film spotlights a series of eyewitnesses to Hitler’s Final Solution. Some are Jewish survivors of the death camps. Others, mostly Germans and Poles, worked in the camps or were in a position to observe what happened. All bear witness to history’s most shameful episode when millions were killed in Hitler’s death camps.
Then, Thursday, April 4, at 9 p. m., Channel 2 broadcasts Safe Haven, the story of America’s only refugee shelter for Holocaust victims. Brought to the United States in 1944 as guests of President Franklin Roosevelt, these 982 refugees from 18 European countries were admitted in lieu of a much larger plan to create many safe havens across the U. S., bringing in possibly hundreds of thousands.
