Course Description

Instructors: Jill Parks

Jews have always been on trial or heavily involved in them. The Jewish trials of the last 125 years are barometers of the climate in which Jews found themselves. From blood libel to Holocaust denial and the Rosenberg trial, the class will discuss how hatred, anti-Semitism and false accusations are used to obfuscate justice. Using a combination of lectures and documentaries, we will discuss trials that changed history including the Dreyfus Affair, The Trial of Mendel Beilis, The Trial of Leo Frank, The Soviet Doctors’ Show Trial, The Julius and Ethel Rosenberg Trial, The Leopold and Loeb trial, and others.
