 olve into a dictatorship? What are the choices individuals make that enabl
 e this to happen? In this course we will explore how it was possible that 
 people who were thought to be the moral barometers of society\, e.g. docto
 rs\, lawyers\, and judges became participants in dictatorship and genocide
 . Just how did the Nazis build such a large and devoted following\, and ho
 w was propaganda used to create allegiance and promote hatred? The factors
  of politics and of human behavior that allowed Germany to transform itsel
 f from a democracy into a dictatorship will be examined. By looking at dec
 isions people made during the rise and the subsequent takeover of power by
  the Nazis\, we will explore this period of history and how the responsibi
 lity for losing or sustaining a democracy belongs to both its leaders and 
 citizens as we investigate how members of a society\, with a lens on Jewis
 h values\, can work to prevent something like this from happening again.\n
