something pro nazi into its opposite.ears ago, when i had roughly the same hair cut and definitely the same jacket, we first reported on another cool version of this same idea. about 600 white supremacist skin heads turned up to nazi rockout to bands like radical and burning hate. the first 250 skin heads to show up to the racist concert got this free t-shirt. it says in german, hard core rebels, national and free. is that ringing a bell? free t-shirt with a neonazi message handed out another a skin head concert. the idea was you would take the t-shirt home, wear it around and hopefully you nazi scumbag, you would eventually wash that t-shirt and when you did wash that t-shirt, the pro nazi design would wash off to reveal a completely different message. and also contact information for how to get out of the neo-nazi life. so this is what happens when you wash it. we actually got one of the shirts and it has been sitting around in our offices since 2011, just waiting for us to have an excuse for us to wash it and see if it

spain, immersed in civil war, offered the opportunity for the nazis to test germany's war readiness. in a show of fascist solidarity with franco the luftwaffe tore apart the little basque town of guernica. this was a signal for picasso to offer a response to the savagery of the times. in a period of just a few weeks, he painted the canvas guernica to hang in the spanish pavilion at the 1937 paris exhibition. extreme distortion licensed by cubism comes together with symbols of violence, horror, and fear, reaching back to europe's oldest myths and rituals-- the myth of the minotaur the ritual of the bullfight. some wished for something simpler. but its effect as a political statement by a modernist against blind cruelty of those who claimed to stand for civilization was instant. in 1937, an exhibition of so-called degenerate art opened in munich. it was organized by the nazis to demonstrate the jewish, bolshevik, and anti-aryan nature of modern art from gauguin onwards. art approved by the third reich portrayed idealized images of labor, maternity, and family life in a figurative style

gates: the nazi menace was growing throughout europe.perate to escape, were fleeing in great numbers. in response, the united states resorted to immigration quotas and other onerous visa restrictions to control the flow of jewish refugees. in 1939, the roosevelt administration turned away the st. louis, a ship carrying 907 passengers, most of them german jewish refugees, forcing its return to europe, where hundreds of them would ultimately die in concentration camps. given this climate, we wondered about the fate of alan's ancestors who remained behind in europe. scouring documents from the time, we were surprised by what we found. alan, this is a set of passenger records from 1939. amazing. i've never seen these before. can you read the transcribed names? yeah. "haskell dershowitz, aron dersiewicz, hirsch dersiewicz, wolf dersiewicz." i knew all these people. this is absolutely remarkable. gates: how could so many of alan's family members have gained entry to the united states when so many others were being denied? what we learned aston

when poland was invaded by nazis, menachem's mother was in a hospital and the nazis went through and murdered patients in their beds, his father's pockets were filled with rocks and he was drowned. menachem was hiding in lithuania then sent to the soviet gulags. when stalin released the polls to fight the nazis he joined a jewish unit and went to palestine and became the head of a terrorist organization directing its energy at that time toward the british. this was very controversial because the british were still fighting the nazis at the time but his goal was to expel the british from mandated palestine. i think you can argue that he did. he was a very relentless and imaginative terrorist leader, and day after day after day, and he had an ability to capture headlines. notably, you know, when the british hanged three convicted terrorist he hanged two british sergeants and booby trapped their bodies. he blew up the king david hotel which was the most luxurious hotel in the region at this time. >> charlie: you will unde un-- l under his leadership. >> yes. and i think the events had a

nazi germany should be defeated.but when i reflect on the first world war it becomes difficult what the first world war was about. who was the clear enemy and what was the clear objective in the first world war. but it is very prominent in british memory, and the commemorations that are unfol unfolding are tempt testaments to that. it's the fabric of society that's going on here. >> michael: was there ambiguity that kept the united states out for as long as it remained out of that war? >> the united states had a lot of reasons to try to stay out of the war. the country was unprepared. the army and navy were not engaged in a war of that scale. too many americans were making money off the war. the united states was growing wealthy, why put that at risk. but in 1915 to 1917 the threat to american shores grew greater with germany reintroducing submarine warfare. the zimmerman telegram which tried to design a japanese alliance ended in the united states. and a threat that was a few thousand miles away all of a sudden was
