This is the third in a series of Jewish comedians in Hollywood.

The Production Code in 1934, the Great Depression, the rise of the Nazi Party in Germany and a general growth in Anti-Semitism didn't bode well for the Hollywood studio moguls, Jewish men like Louis B. Mayer, Harry Cohn, Jack Warner and others who virtually created Hollywood. The moguls tried to ignore the rise of Nazism, even as they continued distributing films in Germany up until the war broke out and not making an anti-Nazi film until 1940. With World War II and Hollywood's Jewish Question, we will look at how the Jewish moguls reacted and failed to react to what was happening in Europe in the 1930's, and how they proceeded through the war and its subsequent years. The moderators Irv Slifkin and LAurence Lerman will discuss how the Jewish moguls reacted and failed to react to what was happening in Europe in the 1930's.
