SUMMARY:The Hidden Story of Nuremberg
DESCRIPTION:CJE’s My Go-To Place Lakeview Invites You to The Hidden Story of Nuremberg \nWhat if your father left you the keys to one of history’s most defining moments? That’s the question Laurie Pasler confronted after inheriting her dad’s hidden World War II memorabilia from his service at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. An award-winning creative director and producer\, Laurie spent a decade piecing together the story through original artifacts\, documents\, and archival research. This journey led to Courtroom 600\, a pioneering curriculum that teaches WWII through the lens of Nuremberg’s irrefutable evidence—and offers a different angle for confronting antisemitism and hate. \nOpen to all. Registration required.
