This course examines lesser-known stories connected to the Holocaust, moving beyond the familiar history of public atrocities to explore powerful behind-the-scenes events. We will learn about the inside story of the 1936 Nazi Olympics, American corporations that supported Nazi Germany during World War II, and the many courageous individuals who risked their lives to rescue persecuted people. Together, these stories reveal both hidden evil and extraordinary human goodness, offering a deeper understanding of this devastating period in history.

He speaks regularly on the powerful stories of human goodness.
