In this 6-week course, we will look at what happened during the Nazi era to see what might happen here now. How did the various religions rally? What could isolated individuals do? What did preventing infection from fascist ideology involve? How was non-fascist culture preserved? What tricks did the Scandinavians have? What heritage was left to us by Americans in that era?   

Defiance/disobedience/resistance—all the same activity—involves many very different methods.

Sandy Garson was working as a journalist in the early 1980s when she discovered the hidden history of Germans who fought Hitler. She went to Germany, met resistance survivors, and found those who had emigrated to the US.

She also researched resistance movements outside Germany. The book she began was never published in 1986 because nobody wanted to hear about “good Germans". But now we know they existed and their stories loudly resonate, so she has been sharing them as inspiration.
