MCHE Lunch and Learn: RESIST

RESISTANCE IN GERMANY – Although the majority of citizens did not vote for the Nazi party in 1932, by August of 1934 their democratic society was transformed into a dictatorship. This session looks at what actions of resistance were possible within Germany and how those options changed over time.

Part 1 of the Fall 2024 Lunch and Learn offered on Zoom.

Once democracy has been destroyed, ordinary citizens must ask themselves what next? In these cases, individuals have differing options and agency depending on their position and particular privilege. For some this might mean taking a different route in daily life to avoid giving the Nazi salute, while others might engage in acts of sabotage or armed revolt. This five-week course, taught by MCHE Historian Dr. Shelly Cline will detail courses of action available and taken by those under Nazi control.
