Not Idly By: Peter Bergson, America and the Holocaust
(USA, 2009, digital video, 40 minutes)

Post-screening discussion with director Pierre Sauvage interviewed by author and Vanity Fair writer-at-large Marie Brenner

This film presents the challenging testimony of a Palestinian Jew who spent the war years in the U.S. leading a group that struggled to make saving the Jews of Europe an American objective. The controversial Peter Bergson is given his posthumous say as he castigates American Jewish leaders at the time for failing to pressure the American government to save European Jews.
