Reply to comment by PoorPDOP86 in The U.S. & the Holocaust, Episode 1: “The Golden Door” (2022) A xenophobic backlash prompts Congress to restrict immigration. Hitler and the Nazis persecute German Jews, forcing many to seek refuge. FDR is concerned by the growing crisis but is unable to coordinate a response. [02:08:43] by s_y_s_t_e_m_i_c_

I am American. I’m not assuming they don’t watch at all. But more would be better. There aren’t a lot of young people watching PBS documentaries. Especially about the Holocaust. I see the Jeffrey Dahmer show us doing well though….

Like I said, in a previous comment, public broadcasting here isn’t really popular compared to Britain.

PBS is hugely popular here. But the watchers trend older now. And if you’re talking about BBC, in general, they aren’t comparable. Totally, different thing.

Hugely popular where? I can count on one hand the number of times I have heard anyone mention PBS outside of children's educational programming. And I've lived in the northeast and the south.
