According to Weisgal, the Jews of Chicago had been asked to participate in the World's Fair. Negotiations went on for months as to whether the Jews were a race, a religion, or a nation; and if so, could they be represented by a building; and if a building, what kind of building? After the success of his 1932 Chanukah pageant, Weisgal felt inspired: "not a building, not an exhibit, but a pageant portraying five thousand years of Jewish history. It would have everything-religion, history, the longing for Zion, the return to Zion, and it would be called The Romance of a People." Weisgal went to Rabbi Solomon Goldman and Judge Harry Fisher, two of Chicago's Zionist leaders and received their support. Weisgal, according to his own account, went to see Rufus C. Dawes, President of the Fair, a deeply religious man who loved his Bible. Weisgal was able to convince him that Jews had "four thousand years of history, from Abraham down to the present: that no one has!" Dawes agreed to schedule a special Jewish Day at the Fair, the grand finale of which would be a huge spectacle produced by Meyer Weisgal
It says 4000 years of history which included sacrifices to Moloch...it's in the OT. It was a sweeping historical panorama...I wouldn't have included that but it is part of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Yes, I read that myself before I posted. Nowhere does it talk about child sacrifice and worshiping Moloch/Molech does it.
