Description

As the Nazi Party began consolidating power in Germany in the early 1930s, they set their sights on the greatest propaganda machine in the world: Hollywood. In what sounded more like a film script, than historical events, Nazi groups in Los Angeles plotted to attack Jews in Hollywood, gain control of American popular media, and ultimately use it to shape public opinion of their party and ideology. In this hour-long course, we will elucidate these devious plots as well as the ring of Jewish-led spies who ultimately took them down; an incredible show of resistance that ended up inspiring a major motion picture.
