YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDocumentary filmmaker Ken Burns has sparked outrage by comparing the relocation of border crossers to idyllic Martha’s Vineyard to the rise of Nazi Germany before the horrors of the Holocaust.
The Brooklyn-born documentarist made the direct comparison Thursday while appearing on CNN to promote his new film, “The US and the Holocaust.”
Without hesitation, he agreed with host John Berman’s suggestion that the doc addressed “some of the same themes” seen in Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ decision to send “two planeloads of migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.”
“This is coming straight out of the authoritarian playbook,” Burns, 69, insisted of DeSantis’ relocation of around 50 border crossers to the Massachusetts hotspot.
“What we find in our all films is that the themes that we engage in the past are present today."
