What I learned today: The Goldbergs

Since I’m always starting new projects, here’s a new category on this blog space: What I learned today.

I’d love to say that I’ll post in this category every day?because if you haven’t learned something new, isn’t that a day wasted??but I might simply not have the time.

Anyway, here goes . . .

Today, I learned via Tablet that there had been a radio program called “The Goldbergs” that began back in 1929. It followed an American Jewish family through their daily lives even as anti-Semitism was raging in Europe and the U.S.

According to the Tablet piece, the program didn’t shy away from current events. Instead, “one famous episode airing shortly after Kristallnacht had bigots throwing a brick through the Goldberg family?s front window.”

Episodes of “The Goldbergs” are available via the Internet Archive.
