IUFLA Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Started watching Ken Burns' "Country Music" while on the mend from minor surgery. Through the first 6 episodes, and it is outstanding, like most of his others. My favorite episode is "The Hillbilly Shakespeare" (episode 3) which focuses on Hank Williams.

There are a few movies out there that I have watched that touch on the subject. "Voyage of the Damned" is one that comes to mind. However, I was not really aware of the issue as a whole. I will paying particular attention to FDR's "role" in the documentary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm interested to see if they discuss the connection between eugenics in the United States and Hitlers final solution.

I done some reading after the documentary was announced. I was familiar with eugenics but not the extent of it. Studied it in Genetics class in college but the scientific, not historical aspect of it. Edited September 22, 2022 by mrflynn03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
