Abstract

The article discusses the reporting of Nazi antisemitism and antisemitic violence by newspapers and journalists in North Carolina, focusing specifically on press coverage of Kristallnacht, a Nazi-led attack on Jewish-owned businesses and property throughout Germany. The author is also more generally interested in U.S. public opinion concerning German antisemitism and the Holocaust. While North Carolina periodicals are the focus of the article, the author also engages with reports in New York, California, and Wisconsin newspapers. Papers discussed include the "Greensboro Daily News," the "Charlotte Observer," and the "Wilmington Morning Star."
