The Third Reich was one of the bloodiest regimes in history, but are the atrocities committed during World War II being lost to modern memory? Through the framing of the Nuremberg trials and eyewitness testimony of American journalist William L. Shirer, this six-part documentary series from filmmaker Joe Berlinger explores the shocking rise and fall of Hitler and his enablers who were fueled through propaganda, censorship and a campaign of antisemitism.
Berlinger will be in conversation about the series with Deirdre van Dyk, William L. Shirer’s granddaughter, and Ruth Ben-Ghiat, author of Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present. Moderated by film curator and writer David Schwartz.
It is recommended to watch the series on Netflix before attending the program.
