Description
Discusses the two controversies that forced Rotary clubs to address the issue of complicity during the Holocaust. One was the attempt by a West German Rotarian to publish an honest account of his organisation's concessions to National Socialism in the 1930s. The second ensued upon the nomination of a former Austrian Nazi to the Rotary International presidency.
