An exhibit on loan from the Jewish Museum in Milwaukee is now at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., where it is getting new and important attention. “Blacklisted: An American Story” tells viewers it “explores the Hollywood blacklist and the federal government’s loyalty investigations. … Through powerful personal stories, rare artifacts, and film clips, the exhibition reveals how fear, politics, and identity collided—and what was lost when dissent was silenced.” As the Guardian (U.K.) put the exhibit’s purpose: “There’s no shortage of comparisons with the second Trump administration to the rise of Nazism in 1930s Germany, but perhaps the more apt comparison is to the Red Scare in postwar America.”
