Description:
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.
This webinar connects to Units 9 and 10 on the Echoes & Reflections website.

Description:
This virtual course provides an in-depth exploration of ethical dilemmas faced by corporations during historical periods of conflict, specifically focusing on the behavior and decisions of companies in Nazi Germany. The course will examine how these historical legacies continue to influence corporate practices and ethics today. Students will engage with case studies, historical analyses, and contemporary corporate challenges, developing a nuanced understanding of leadership, ethics, and corporate responsibility.
Scholar: Colinne S. Bartel is a lecturer with a diverse background in corporate strategy, business development, and academic research. Her research interests span corporate engagement in national development, World War II, defense strategy, environmental engagement, and cultural interchange.
Ms. Bartel holds a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, a Master of Arts in International Relations from Claremont Graduate School, and a dual MBA in Strategy and Finance from The Peter F. Drucker School of Management and EDHEC Business School in Nice, France. Since 2002, she has been based in Germany, where she has made significant contributions to various industries.

Currently, she is the owner of Truffle Time, a thought leadership platform that explores critical macro issues affecting the world today. Additionally, AC Innovation GmbH, where she is a key figure, acts as a marketing and business development catalyst for entrepreneurs.
Colinne’s diverse expertise and passion for sports, the arts, and cultural exchange further enrich her professional and personal endeavors.
Session 1: Introduction to Corporate Ethics and Historical ContextThe first session sets the stage for understanding the ethical challenges faced by corporations during times of conflict, using Nazi Germany as a case study. Participants will be introduced to key concepts, such as Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs and the balance between profit and corporate responsibility, to frame the discussion. The session will explore how companies navigated the complex ethical landscape of supporting government policies during the Third Reich while pursuing financial gain. By examining selected readings and testimonies, students will start to think critically about the long-term implications of these corporate choices and their impact on today’s corporate practices. The goal is to encourage participants to engage with these historical complexities and think in “shades of gray,” recognizing that decision-making in such contexts is rarely black and white.

Description:
The Mischlinge Exposé weaves a multimedia tapestry around a little-known aspect of the Holocaust: the Mischlinge (a derogatory Nazi term for those neither fully Jewish nor fully Aryan). The program interweaves video and audio testimony from American pianist Carolyn Enger’s godmother and her father (both labeled Mischling, Grade A by the Nazis) with the music of composers from the salon period who converted to Christianity in the decades before the war. Reacting to questions of identity after the war, the program vividly illustrates what it was like to be between worlds in Germany in the first half of the 20th century. Through the telling of her family story, Enger’s live documentary directly addresses universally significant issues of identity and inclusion, encouraging empathy, tolerance, and engagement.
