Discussions and papers will explore the treatment of refugees from Nazi and Fascist persecution before and during World War II, the impact of the ideologies in Latin America and the treatment of Nazi fugitives during and after the war.
Speakers will include scholars and researchers from the United States, Switzerland, Spain, South Africa, Israel, France and Canada. John Loftus, a former investigator for the U.S. Justice Department, will talk about “The Nazi Connection in the United States.”
