The Jewish Historical Society of Greater Hartford and Voices of Hope present Melinda K. Elliott, author of "No Swastikas in Southbury." In 1937 an American Nazi group bought a large property in the tiny farming community of Southbury, Connecticut. They planned to build a massive training camp for up to 1,100 Nazi youth. Learn how the town of 1,200 came together to beat back the antisemites and their plans.
