1.     Non-Fiction Reading Nazis in the aftermath	As you know from the station above, the guiding question for this course is “How do humans find meaning and happiness?” For this station, you will explore how this question also applies to perpetrators.  This article chronicles how the infamous Dr. Mengele escaped.  Take notes on why the escape is described as “smooth.”  Are there any clues into the mind of this perpetrator in this article?  How might a perpetrator find his own “meaning and happiness” after having victimized people?  If there is time, research what other Nazi’s have done in the aftermath of the war.  Take notes.
