the sabotage of the nazi program. my most recent book is about the david and goliath story about the jewish race car driver taking on silver as well before the war. people often ask me how do you choose the subjects? i don't quite understand. my wife rather ungenerously says i pick them based on where i want to travel next i don't think that's necessarily true. what i look for is to introduce stories of people doing what we think is impossible. stories of ordinary people putting through extraordinary situations and getting through. it my first question is something to have something to say about the story, and the story about adolf eichmann and his capture, -- the adult version, this story was largely myth. it was largely written by the people who were involved in the operation, namely esther around, and if you took his word for it he heard that eichmann was in argentina and he lapped both feet forward, everything went swimmingly, nothing went wrong. it was a perfect operation from start to finish. that could not be f

you can see the nazi hierarchy including hitler.ive days later, the newspaper published a brief story stating that he had cabled the symphony board to say that he was withdrawing, he would not be coming to chicago. clearly the toxicity of the german ideology continued to distress many. the naziism had impressed itself upon the american mind. the war's end didn't many that its effect had simply evaporated. one self described jewish subscriber wrote to the chicago daily news in january 1949 and he was assessing the views of those who supported bringing him to chicago, assessing specifically those who said that they believed in the, quote, sanctity of art. he offered a chilling statement. a knife wielding artist will cut just as surely as that wielded by a butcher this letter writer wrote. it is true that he was acquitted of nazi activities after the war by an allied tribunal that investigated the actions of leading figures in germany. regarding that verdict, it is worth highlighting that there is a great deal of commentary on this. on

were your grandparents were nazis? no, they were just ordinary and my grandfather fought in the -- he was in the army. but, of course, as anyone knows, all of you here who know so much about this area, know that it encompasses a giant swath of experience. it's not exonerating to have fought in the army. you could have done a different number of things. when i spent that summer on the farm entering my grandmother and talking to her about that time, she took me back to the beginning. it was important to her to try to explain herself and my grandfather in a way that i think was somewhat rare for germans of her generation. she really wanted to talk about this and one of the things she wanted to explain was that they had come to the nazi party and had joined it in '37 and this was in her words as idealists which obviously has a perverse sound to it. she says you have to understand we -- you know, this was -- d this was during the clinton era and i had been talking about how i was interested in joining the national service p

they were in the regalia symbols of confederacy and the nazi before our eyes. after that, realizing that episode and situation was a reminder that our history, we are not on the same page on american history. we are not. reminded us that this was about memory and the knowledge of the history. so that drew me to germany to see how was it they were dealing with their history and the memory of that history? how are they atoning for that and dealing with it? and then the more i looked into the history of nazi germany, i came to discover that they were in dialogue with and consulting with american eugenicists leading up to the third reich and then actually the nazis admired the 1924 immigration law on the basis of eugenicists beliefs and americans are writing books that were very popular in germany and the nazis adopted many books. this was stunning and now of course we know they did not need anyone to teach them how to hate but they studied the jim crow laws against the human miscegenation laws about property liens and study the segregation laws the purity and poll

the harrowing story of how america became a safe even if a 1000 years of nazi criminals. i think a lot of this is it was really a stain on the united states it was a shameful period in which we allowed thousands and thousands of nazi persecutors who we had just defeated we had just gone to war we had lost interest lost hundreds of thousands of men in battle and then allowed. them in despite their obvious ties to to war crimes and persecution that that is a blot in american history since japan's act of surrender was formally signed on september the 2nd 1945 in tokyo bang the pull of the american battleship u.s.s. missouri. representing the suv union general did it also sign to surrender documentable. the u.s.s. missouri general macarthur and admiral nimitz signed on behalf of the usa. the tokyo tribunal soon follows the trial of japanese war criminals america behaved as if it owned the courtroom after all japan was in a town's. i'm a good high noble tanya. good they were a make a dollar some are you going to cause a great. new and you are. the tokyo tribute all began on ma
