It’s 1940. FDR is committed to defeating Hitler and winning the war, but slow to respond to reports of Jews dying en masse in concentration camps. His avoidance is abetted by his administration, and even his Jewish advisors. But one young activist refuses to stay silent. He takes on the U.S. government and the American Jewish establishment, risking everything to sound the alarm. Based on true events, The Accomplices is a searing, high-stakes drama about truth, power, and the complicity of silence.
“This is a story that needs to be told, and Weinraub—a longtime New York Times reporter—does so with moving clarity. A substantial, punch-packing morality thriller. Don’t miss!” —Time Out New York.
“Provocative, intelligent and compelling. THE ACCOMPLICES will give you plenty to talk about.” —New York Daily News.
