Ken Burns is a dishonorable Democrat propagandist.
V8 head smack. How could I have not noticed.
But then…
When has Ken Burns ever NOT distorted any historical topic he has worked on?
“BASEBALL” was rife with “WHITE MAN BAD” guilt trip themes.“
Indeed!!
I could tolerate it back in the 1990’s because I loved baseball, but I can’t watch it at all now. Every last episode has to include a prolonged segment of how evil and inferior white people were to the REAL great players (blacks)
“And I have read that FDR appointed more Jews to judgeships and cabinet positions than any previous president.”
How many of them spoke up about the ship that got sent back to Europe?
FDR’s administration wouldn’t let the Jews on the St. Louis ship into the US.

Democrats are never wrong in Burns’ world.
“Nonetheless, in recent interviews, Burns has claimed that during the Roosevelt years, the United States “accepted more refugees than any other sovereign nation.” That’s simply false.”
You contend this is false then focus on Jewish refugees; is it possible that during “the Roosevelt years” (13 years), we did in fact take in more refugees (of any faith) - from China, Ukraine, Spain, for example, in the 1930s, and Europe, Philippines, etc. in the early 1940s?
Just thinking out loud; it was a long presidency with problems around the world (before Nazism perpetrated its own).
makes you wonder what else he has fabricated and lied about.
Burns reminds me of Jimmy Carter.
The old school Southern Democrat that views Israel as an enemy of Christianity.
Not very common anymore but remnant is still there.
I recall in a retrospect of The Civil War series, Burns took as his own the most profound comment made by Foote or anyone one else during the entire series. The Civil War made us into an “is” instead of an “are”

If you are thinking or the two who escaped from Auschwitz with their detailed report about it being genocthat wasn’t until early 1944.

Anti-Semitism was pretty much de rigueur throughout Europe at the time Hitler came to power. But Krystallnacht was a severe escalation, and should have driven home that the Nazis were taking it to the next level.
FDR did not "DESPISE" Jews. He did much for them. That he could have done more does not negate all he did do.
In politics, few constituencies get everything they want. (I rarely get anything I want.) It rarely means that you are "DESPISED."
I only repeat what I hear, combined with policies at the time (really, was it so hard to bomb a few railroad bridges to Auschwitz near the end of the war, or to take in a boatload of Jews). For FDR, that seems to be a policy of Jew hating to me.
EoZ discusses Burns’ documentary and its curious treatment of Palestine https://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2022/09/0913-links-pt2-anti-zionists-advocate.html:
For the past five months, in interviews and press releases about his upcoming documentary, filmmaker Ken Burns has been claiming that the Roosevelt administration accepted more refugees than any other sovereign nation during the Nazi era.
The phrase “sovereign nation” struck us as odd. Ordinarily, one would say, “than any other country.” Why emphasize the word “sovereign?”
Now Burns has let the cat out of the bag. Apparently responding to criticism of his handling of the immigration statistics, Burns admitted to an interviewer from The Daily Beast on September 4 that he has been using the term ‘sovereign nation’ to distinguish [it] from the fact that people escaped to other places, like Palestine.
Why is Burns trying to disqualify Palestine from the conversation? Why resort to a technicality about sovereignty in order to try to push Palestine out of the discussion?
Even though Palestine was not sovereign, the ruling authorities there – the British – certainly were a sovereign power and they had to make a decision about how many Jews to admit either to the United Kingdom or to the territories under its control. Likewise, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had to make a decision about how many Jews he would admit either to the mainland United States or to the non-sovereign territories it controlled, such as the US Virgin Islands
Burns will do a doc on how great the clintons are and obama and biden. Blame all troubles on white conservatives and praise Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
