Frum Jewry and the Holocaust – Part II

Did frum Jews – and rabbanim – in America fail their brethren during the Holocaust?  Yes, according to Zalman Alpert, a longtime reference librarian at Yeshiva University and an expert on the topic.  In this wide-ranging interview, Alpert discusses the Holocaust, Lubavitch, unfortunate developments at YU, self-hating Jews, the rise of 'sectarianism,' and more.
