“World War II – A Visual History” Goes Live!

Dog Green Productions has just completed the web version of World War II – A Visual History, an interactive timelines installed at American Battle Monuments Commission visitor centers across Europe. Using interactive maps in order to show the events of the war year-by-year, these timelines utilize historical footage and photographs with a view to both the individual events and their global repercussions to reveal a depth of information as the user delves into the material.

This site is just the beginning of a much wider reaching project that will eventually include a timeline for World War I as well as specific campaign interactives following American involvement in World War II.

Morgenthau Film Update

This is our second update on the interviews we’ve completed over the last month for the MORGENTHAU film, due to air on WNET/PBS later this year. We talked with both Michael Berenbaum and Peter Kougasian who spoke to different aspects of the connection between the three generations of Morgenthaus: from Henry Morgenthau Senior to Henry Morgenthau Junior down to Robert Morgenthau.

Peter Kougasian began working for Robert Morgenthau in the District Attorney’s office in 1979 after graduating from Yale Law School. Kougasian worked with Morgenthau for thirty years, and told us of the lasting dedication he demonstrates to the remembrance of the Armenian Genocide, a fight passed down from his grandfather.

Rnowned Holocaust scholar Michael Berenbaum shared the story of Henry Morgenthau Junior’s service as Secretary of the Treasury during World War II.

That’s all for now. Check back soon for more updates on the MORGENTHAU film and our other projects.

Morgenthau Film Update

We’ve been busy over the last month completing some of the final interviews for MORGENTHAU, which will be airing later this year on WNET/PBS. Our interviewees this month included Dan Castleman, David Marwell, and Judah Gribetz — all insightful individuals who are helping us complete the story of the Morgenthau family. Check out some of what we discussed with them in the descriptions below:

We interviewed District Attorney’s office veteran Dan Castleman, who shared with us stories of the organized crime and political corruption cases he prosecuted while working under Robert Morgenthau for thirty years.

In addition, we conducted our second interview with David Marwell, chairman of the Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, about Robert Morgenthau’s involvement with the museum in the days following September 11^th.

We also interviewed Judah Gribetz, who shared his wide-ranging insight into Robert Morgenthau’s personal history. He spoke to Morgenthau’s experience in World War II, his connection to the Kennedys, his role as District Attorney, and his commitment to the Museum of Jewish Heritage, A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
