if the music was played at a venue with an ASCAP license, the law suit will go nowhere.

He was very much influenced by US academia and intellectuals at the time that saw genocide of natives as a template to then do this to blacks, Italians, Irish, etc in the early 1900s as a means for Germany to create their empire.

There was effort to keep the concentration camps and plight if Jews out of the US news. Likely for a myriad of reasonz.
Most in the US didn't learn of any of it until after the war.
Within Europe, many new Jews were going to camps. Knowledge of the horrors wasn't as widespread. Considering most European countries only tolerated the presence of Jews, I could see some of the apathy on the news Germans were rounding up Jews in camps.
Related to the NYTimes, which set the news cycle in the US at the time, much of their reporting was propaganda from the FDR administration. There may have been noble and underhanded reasons for it.

Thanks, usually wait a bit on larger documentaries.

Does Ken Burns go into how IBM developed the system Germany used to track and manage the Holocaust?
Does he go into how NYTimes his the Holocaust from the public?
Does he go into how Ivy League schools praised Hitler and how the US Eugenics movement influenced hitlers plans for the Holocaust?
The US internment camps are bad, but minor compared to other actions prior to us getting into war.

They can't stop the campaign from using the music it they play it in locations with ASCAP licenses. The same reason a bar can play music without direct permission of the artist.
