What is of more concern to us today than the erosion of human rights? The five trials in this course took place in France, Germany, Israel, and South Africa. Each of these trials was responding to current events (of the time) that illuminate what people are thinking about over the span from 1400 to the 1950s. President Barack Obama said that: “if you’re walking down the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you make progress.”  Let’s look at these trials and see if we think he is right.

Instructor: Sylvia Solomon is a retired educator who worked in schools, universities, and the Ontario Ministry of Education. Since her retirement, she has presented the Great Trial series at the University of Toronto, Toronto Metropolitan University, the Toronto Reference Library, the 92nd Street Y, the OLLI program (California) and the Instituto d’Allende in Mexico.
