SUMMARY:The Hidden Story of Nuremberg: A Daughter’s Discovery with Laurie Pasler
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, April 14 \n1:00 pm \nADD TO CALENDAR \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. She spent a decade piecing together the story through original artifacts\, documents\, and archival research\, which led to the creation of 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 in today’s classrooms. This program\, in commemoration of Yom HaShoah\, is open to the community\, free of charge. \nREGISTER
