let's anne frank is you arguably young people's introduction to the subject in history. ing the film, it came to life that otto frank had desperately tried to get to the united states and he had a lot of connections. he knew the right kind of people who had the rig kinds of money with the right kind of influence. i didn't know that so it seems, initially on the sface if you're making a fil about the u.s. on holocaust, why would you include anne frank, and the fact that we included anne frank and telling her story in a different way became very important. >> this is my great grandfather, max, my great-grandmother, met -- bella. >> she learned about her own jewish family history as well. she showed us photos that tell a stark story like who survived and who did not. >> this side of the family were able to get out. this side of the family was wiped out. >> the coders are so pernicious with regard to european refugees, particularly jewish refugees trying to get out that it creates a bottleneck that results in the deaths, the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of people.

and holocaust, why include anne frank?hat we were including anne frank in telling her story and, i think, a different way, became very important. >> this was my great-grandfather max. my great-grandfather bella. >> she was learning more about her own jewish family history, as well. she shows us the photos that tell a stark story of who survived and who did not. >> the side of the family was able to get out. the side was wiped out. >> the quotas are so pernicious with regard to european refugees, particularly jewish refugees trying to get out. it creates a bottleneck that results in the unnecessary deaths of tens of thousands of more people. it's on roosevelt, the state department, the congress and also on the american people. >> they did take in more than 225,000 refugees, more than any other nation. how much more could have been done to save people? can the military have slowed or even stopped the killing at concentration camps? what a the political of calculations of president roosevelt himself? here we see contentious a

some documents came to light when we were getting started on our research that showed that anne frank'shad written to the american consulate and try to get a visa to come to the u.s. after they had fled nazi germany to amsterdam. before they went into hiding, he tried again. he tried over and over to get to the united states, and he had all the right paperwork, he had the connection, you have the resources, and yet they were turned away, essentially. and like thousands of other people who wanted to get out of nazi germany, america was not prepared to welcome more than a fraction, as we say, of the people who needed to get out. >> and i mean, fdr is such a fascinating character in the documentary because he was trying to keep america out of the war and recognizing that he needs the support england as the last best hope against hitler. >> yeah. i think sometimes fdr can be blamed. in a very simplistic reading of this story, that it is all his fault that america wasn't more engaged with saving refugees and addressing humanitarian crisis that was unleashed as hitler began his persecution of

we start the film with otto frank, anne frank's father. he spends most of the 30s trying to get into the united states. most people's entrance is through the story of anne frank which we think we have no responsibility but the fact that she could be living among us today, that her children could be here, and we didn't want them in there. there is a higher kind of moral place that we could have arrived at. fra franklin roosevelt could be been more vociferous in his opposition. could have rid the state department of antisemihits, and we could have yelled louder about what was happening at the time and we did not do that, and because of that, we failed. had we let in five times as many people, i suggest we still would have failed. >> one of the utterly tragic incidents that you recount in the film is that of m.s. st. louis, the ship that was carrying the 900 jews that left hamburg, germany, and was not permitted into the canada or the united states. 254 of its passengers later perished in the holocaust. some scholars have argued that fdr, the

, everybody knows anne frank. if america had had a different immigration policy. >> you believe that? >> i absolutely believe that. i absolutely believe that. >> by 1945, two out of every three european jews had been murdered. yet even then, only 5% of americans wanted to let more refugees in, while more than a third said we should admit even fewer. >> that's after you've seen the horrific images of the liberation of the camps and the bodies piled up and the emaciated people. that is a tough pill to swallow, very tough pill to swallow. >> are you worried people will interpret this as sort of an indicting our nation, if you will? >> i don't see this at all as an indictment, i don't. i think we're trying to just tell the story of what happened. >> it is not shaming america. it is thinking about how to do better. >> hundreds of white nationalists storming the university of virginia. >> at the very end, there is this montage with no narration, charlottesville, a build a wall rally, a report of an attack on a synagogue

she's also grammy-nominated for her narration of anne frank:

not only did she invite it, she helped frame it -- rachel: what was she talking about with anne frank: they would say, no, no, no, no, you're banning books about jill is johnny now or about i have two mommies, so they would say, no, no, it's the conservatives who are blocking what are very radical books that shouldn't be in the classroom. it's coded language but, you're right, targeting one side of the spectrum. she's an extension of that teach or that assistant principal who they exposed saying we have an agenda, we just have to hide it. rachel: well, here's another dangerous situation, and that is happening at our border. eight migrants were found dead while 53 others were ap are rehended trying to -- apprehended trying to cross the rio grande. by the way, four of those children, two of hem were mexican children age 16, there was also a 13 and 14 is -year-old guatemalan kids who drowned in this attempt to cross the rio grande which is a very dangerous proposition. meanwhile, two mexican nationals illegally in the united states have been accused or charged, i'm sorry, with murder of

the diary of anne frank, you can't teach about which is.'t answer questions of children, you have to be mask police. that's when what created the burnout and that's not parents, it's politicians. parents want the best interest, best of their kids. >> here is kj pete because we've got to bring this to today where we are, blaming trump administration for the low test scores. watch this. >> let's step back to where we were not too long ago the president walked into this administration, how mismanaged the pandemic, the response to the pandemic was. schools were not open, the economy was shut down, businesses were shut down. every republican congress voted against the money, that is the reality and we had to do this on our own. >> tommi, taken away. >> do they think we are stupid? they must think we are stupid. i know i say the word gaslight a lot, a millennial term we like to use but the definition of gas lit is accompanied by the teachers unions, kj pete, joe biden. they are gas lighting us. they demonize the trump of administration and govern

when they can't teach the diary of anne frank?ildren, you have to be mask police, that is what has created the burnout and that is not parents, that's politicians, parents want the best for their kids and so do teachers. rachel: i was trying to understand what she was talking about that they have to teach and become social justice warriors because why and you explained it really well. pete: she's claiming political parameters limit how much teachers can advance certain -- what conservative school districts don't allow her shouldn't be teaching is that but she went other places as well, can't answer the questions of children unless they want to talk about gender transitioning or you have to be mask police, you were the one who pushed for closures and mask police, this is deflection, projection, she asked for it. >> they begged the government for that, treated children very poorly because they couldn't wear them for that long, they banned smiles, caused a lot of sickness and also acne by masking these kids and it was there calling.

one of the things i always member is going to anne frank's house in amsterdam and seeing that in the could be that way, wouldn't we live in a wonderful place? it was amazing, i wouldn't have missed it. it was worth waiting 11 hours. it really was. i thought to myself i will never see her again so this _ was the opportunity that i wanted to go and pay my respects. - maureen and her daughter emily made the decision to come this morning and entered via the accessible queue. she got you through your life, didn't she? yeah. we are here on behalf of the whole family, past and present. along the two—mile queue that straddles both sides of the river thames, there are volunteers on hand to help. multi—faith teams are here to offer support and solace. this morning, the archbishop of canterburyjoined them, after playing a leading role in recent days. the idea of coming to see people here today? to see how people are, where they've come from. most people are in very good shape. i had a couple of conversations yesterday, where the process had renewed their sense of grief over their own losses. i
