Dachau War Trials Revisited

| Saturday, April 04, 2009

Loras hosted an event this past week called "To Do Justice." It focused on the Dachau war trials after World War II and the men who prosecuted and defended the Nazis in those trials. This event had a special meaning to me because I was just at Dachau a little over two months ago.
