How did ordinary men across Europe become willing participants in Hitler’s plan to eliminate the Jews? This lecture explores how people in many countries actively helped the Nazis and what motivated them to do so. Were these men simply following orders, or does history show that civilized behavior is more fragile than we think? Join us as we examine this troubling question and its lessons for today.

Desiree Rosenthal Israel
Desiree Rosenthal Israel was born in South Arica and is a retired physician having worked in the Hallandale/Aventura area for over 40 years. She is spending her retirement years being on call,
now for her grandchildren instead of her patients, and is working with John on this important project.
John Ury
John Ury was born in England and has made Florida his home for over 40 years.
After a business career he is devoting his retirement years to telling the the story of the Holocaust and making sure that the next generations “never forget”. In his previous presentation, A Jewish Family in Berlin (1770 – 1944) - 5 Generations, he tells the story of the Holocaust through his own family.
He continues his exploration of the Holocaust showing how the hatred of the Jews was so widespread in almost every country in Europe.
John's interest in the Holocaust is not only as a Jew but also because many of his own German family
perished.
