Holocaust and Georgia
• At the same time they learned of the atrocities in Europe,
Jewish communities in the U.S. faced increased
discrimination at home.
• Though the U.S. was not officially engaged in the war,
local communities organized support efforts.
• Atlanta’s Jewish social service agencies raised funds to
combat discrimination abroad.
• Their successful fundraising continued throughout the
war.
• The Holocaust ended in 1945, when the Allied powers
won the war and freed the people held captive in the
camps.
