The House I Live In
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The House I Live In was a 1945 short film written by Albert Maltz and made by producer Frank Ross and actor Frank Sinatra to oppose anti-Semitism and prejudice at the end of World War II. It received a special Academy Award in 1946.
"The House I Live In" is also the title of a song written by Earl Robinson and Lewis Allan and performed by Sinatra; he recorded the song at least three times, the last as a duet with Neil Diamond.

Also recorded by Paul Robeson in 1947. Earl Robinson, who co-wrote the song, was deeply engaged with the Popular Front (he also co-wrote "Ballad for Americans," which after its famous performance on CBS Radio by Robeson in 1939, became know as the "unofficial national anthem").
