Meet the filmmaker! Writer, director and editor, Hilan Warshaw, will be in Sedona to host the film and do a live Q&A discussion after the screening.
A powerful story of bigotry, loyalty and courage which sometimes feels ripped from today’s headlines, “Honorable Mr. Morgenthau” is a documentary about U.S. immigration policy during the Holocaust — as told through the lens of one American’s extraordinary experience.
Throughout most of the 1930s and World War II, the United States government deliberately kept the influx of European Jews to America well below America’s official immigration quota for that part of the world. This policy — rooted in a variety of political concerns, as well as frequently transparent anti-Semitism — left millions with no haven from the Nazi terror, and emboldened Hitler to transition from a policy of Jewish emigration to extermination.
