12 Days of Christmas Radio Shows, Part 4: "Scapegoats in History"

Today's program is a very different kind of radio program - an episode of Words at War, a wartime series that promoted interested books to its audiences. For Christmas, 1944, they presented the books Scapegoats in History by Kenneth Miller Gould and History of Bigotry in the United States by Gustavus Myers. Words at War dramatizes elements of the books and performs a sober reflection on the persecution of other people across the centuries, noting to its Christian audience that the story of Jesus at Epiphany - the flight from Egypt - was itself an escape from persecution.

"Scapegoats in History" originally aired December 26, 1944. The narrator is Bernard Lenrow.
