Join Todd Hennessy, Echoes & Reflections facilitator and educator, for a detailed look into the Winter Olympic games, the role the Games played in Germany and abroad, a brief glimpse into the events of the IV Winter Olympiad, and the experiences of Jewish athletes. This is part one of a two-part series on Nazi Germany and the Olympics.
