IN PERSON: June 6, 2024, marked 80 years since D-Day, the day the Allies invaded the beaches of Normandy, France. This victory began the definitive final months of the Nazi regime and the end of the methodical murder of Jews, which became known as the Holocaust. Starting in 1942, the world was informed that Jews were being systematically murdered by the Nazi regime. What was the response of Christian churches and how did they lead during the four years of knowing this evil was happening? During this 10-week course, students will learn about the history of antisemitism and how the following entities responded to it: the Christian churches in Nazi Germany, the Christian churches in Europe and the Christian churches in North America. Classes will be in-person lectures, with time for Q&A. Learning tools will include videos and PowerPoint presentations. | Lecture + Q&A.
Max enrollment: 40.
Location: Judea Reform Congregation, 1933 W. Cornwallis Rd, Durham NC 27705
