Based on actual events and personalities, THE ACCOMPLICES is the true story of one man’s fight on American soil to shatter a conspiracy of silence and inaction in the face of the Holocaust. In 1940, Hillel Kook, aka Peter Bergson, arrived in the US fresh from the underground resistance in Palestine. He sought aid for the rescue of European Jews from the Nazis but was shocked to find himself blocked by both the Roosevelt administration and the Jewish establishment. Veteran NY Times reporter Bernard Weinraub wrote a blistering account of the fight to save millions and the conspiracy of silence and inaction that continues to haunt us to this day.
