  Sindee Kerker

  About this video

  Video of the exhibit on film with commentary from Criminal Justice Professor Sindee Kerker. Filmed and Edited by Dawn Dubruiel.

  About the exhibit

  "Tempted, Misled, Slaughtered -- The Short Life of Hitler Youth, Paul B" on exhibit on the 2nd Floor Landing from February 22, 2021 – March 19, 2021. The exhibit is a collaboration with Professor Sindee Kerker DJCG 300A course on The Nuremberg Trials.

  The exhibit, through a series of photo panels, shows the rise of the Hitler Youth, which lured children and their parents by taking children on camping excursions. While other youth organizations were outlawed, the Hitler Youth organization sprouted a number of clubs that would eventually serve the military’s purposes, including a Hitler Youth Signal Corps, motorcycle units, a Hitler Youth glider program and shooting and marksmanship contests. The exhibition was created in partnership with the Nuremberg Documentation Center and is circulated by The Florida Holocaust Museum, St. Petersburg, Florida.

  • When does the Electoral College cast its vote?
  • Must the electors vote the way the states voted, and have there been elections that have dragged on for weeks or whose vote/results have been overturned? (The answer to both is yes, so how could that work in 2020?)
  • Can the Democrats "pack" or "unpack" the Supreme Court, and how would that work?
  • What lawsuits will be filed after the election?
  • Could this election go to the Supreme Court?
