About Whistleblowers:
Whistleblowers tells the true story of four courageous individuals who risked their careers—or their lives—to confront the unfolding Holocaust.
Who were the whistleblowers?
- Alan Cranston—a young journalist and future U.S. senator who exposed the truth of Hitler’s plans.
- Henry Morgenthau, Jr.—a member of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s cabinet who confronted the President over the plight of Jewish refugees fleeing Hitler
- Jan Karski—an eyewitness to Nazi atrocities who met with American and British officials to alert them about the death camps.
- Josiah E. DuBois Jr.—an American civil servant who blew the whistle on colleagues inside the Roosevelt administration who were blocking the rescue of refugees.
