Lunch and Learn
With Professor Tom White, Keene State College
As the Nazis began to coordinate and crystallize their racist program in the early 1930s, they looked for legal precedence that could help shape their own work within the German legal system. They found this precedent in U.S. legislation and initiatives, such as racist-based immigration laws and disenfranchisement of minorities.
If you didn’t know…now you will.
