They kept hammering on the same points of misery constantly. The event was so hideous that the horror of it all was understood with just half of that testimony.
I liked the parts about the origins of the mess, where the people came from, and what the government's role was. That's stuff I never knew. Hoover was all but hung for it - that and the coinciding Depression.
What a time that was. Exit WW1, proceed directly into the Depression and Dust Bowl era, then keep marching straight into WW2. A large, sweet piece of history.
