| The Bombing

Senator
George McGovern, acclaimed humanitarian, is also a decorated
WWII B-24 bomber pilot who flew 35 missions over Poland
and Germany. He never received orders to target the
gas
chambers or railroad tracks to Auschwitz. Werner Coppel
and Anna Ornstein were teenaged prisoners in Auschwitz
while Allied forces held the skies in 1944. They dreamed
for the pilots to notice them, to stop the trains, to
stop the gas chambers, to show that they cared about
the mass murder. For the first time in public, in this
groundbreaking meeting between the WWII war hero and
the Holocaust survivors, they will explore the many
questions about the possibilities of the bombing of
Auschwitz: W as
it feasible? What impact would it make? What good would
it do? What were the expectations of the victims? Who
would be in a position to do it? Why wasn’t it
done? Who is responsible for non-action? What conclusions
can we make? What legal, ethical, social and political
questions do the answers now raise? Why put energy and
thought into this question today? Who is there to encourage,
help protect, and serve the innocent victims of genocide
post-Holocaust?
