'How to Steal from Jews: A Story from Nazi Germany and What It Teaches Us'
The Nazi regime not only murdered millions of Jews, it also relentlessly confiscated Jewish property from owners later sent to their deaths. This illustrated lecture will describe the step-by-step process by which two elderly Jews from wartime Berlin were stripped of all their assets before they were deported to the death camps—and shows how Nazi officials then fought with each other about what to do with the stolen property.
