Written by Geoffrey Ward, the film examines the rise of Hitler and Nazism in Germany in the context of global anti-Semitism and racism, the eugenics movement in the United States and race laws in the American south. Following the preview of the series, a presentation and discussion will be led by Steve Hunegs, JCRC Executive Director.
