"OUR NAZI": AN AMERICAN SUBURB'S ENCOUNTER WITH EVIL

March 5th, 2025

6:00 PM ET

Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

In 1982, the secret that Reinhold Kulle had long concealed finally came to light. The chief custodian at the local high school had been a Nazi, a member of the SS, a guard at a brutal slave labor camp. As the Office of Special Investigations raced to uncover Nazis in the United States, neighbors across the country were left to reconcile horrific accusations with the kind and soft-spoken men they thought they knew. Author and social studies teacher Michael Soffer will use the Kulle case to discuss the fraught efforts to bring America's Nazis to justice, and provide examples for how to incorporate this jarring history in the classroom.
