Course Description: We will discuss the history from 1848 to WWI to Versailles and then to the Nazi’s taking power in 1933. Along the way, there was the Night of Broken Glass and the Night of the Long Knives and other issues such as 34,000 sex slaves that served German soldiers. We will continue on to the Wansee Conference and the Final Solution. We will conclude at the end in 1945, with a suicide in a Berlin bunker. Come with an open mind, I guarantee to give you something you never learned in a public school.

Course Description: This class explores what we think we know about crime and justice. Where do we get our information? How valid is the information we get? Where can we go to find “the truth”? Is there even such a thing as the truth about crime and justice? I hope you noticed the number of question marks in this course description – there will be more questions as we go through the course.
