In collaboration with the Ohio Supreme Court, the Jewish Federation
of Cleveland is hosting “How the Courts Failed Germany” in a program
presented by a United States Holocaust Memorial Museum historian.
Dr. William Meinecke will outline the role of pre-World War II
German courts in setting the stage for Nazi atrocities at the
federation’s Mandel Building in Cleveland on Thursday, September 6.
