Episode 8: The Synagogue of Satan
Manage episode 428315317 series 3574916
In the early 1970s, two powerful men, President Richard Nixon and evangelist Billy Graham, held secret Oval Office conversations about Jews. “America’s Pastor” and the 37th President of the United States didn’t consider themselves antisemites, but they dredged up stereotypes and traded in conspiracy theories shared by many Americans about the “good Jews”: Jews who were too smart, too powerful, and all too willing to corrupt the nation’s morals.
