Fascinating and moving, this one-hour documentary tells the previously untold story of the many German Jewish professors who, expelled from their homeland by the Nazis, found new lives and careers at all-Black colleges and universities in the South.
Through in-depth interviews with many of the surviving professors as well as their former students, From Swastika to Jim Crow uncovers a remarkable moment in American history and offers a fresh perspective on the complex history of race relations in America.
This is the first of several special events and activities at Sinclair taking place during Black History Month.
Major funding provided by ITVS(Independent Television Service) and The National Foundation for Jewish Culture.
