What was the title of the 1945 short film for which Sinatra received a special Oscar?

The 1945 short film for which Frank Sinatra received a special Oscar was The House I Live In. In the approximately 10-minute film, Sinatra sings the title song and speaks against antisemitism and other forms of religious and racial prejudice.

The film was made near the end of World War II, when American society was confronting both wartime propaganda and discrimination at home. Its story centers on Sinatra addressing boys who are harassing a Jewish child, turning a simple encounter into a plea for tolerance and shared citizenship. Sinatra also helped promote the film publicly as part of his anti-prejudice work.

The Academy recognized The House I Live In with an honorary award at the 18th Academy Awards, presented in 1946 for the film's contribution to racial and religious tolerance. This was not a competitive acting Oscar for a feature film. The short is also distinct from The Joker Is Wild, Sinatra's 1957 biographical drama about singer Joe E. Lewis.
