Courageous Dissent

When the Gestapo knocked on doors in 1940, it was at the homes of the intelligentsia — figures like Thomas Mann, Max Ernst and Marc Chagall.

But one American Foreign Service consul’s defiance of his stated mandates helped save these revered minds, and thousands of others, during the early years of World War II. Join Harry Bingham’s son, Robert Kim Bingham, as he shares incredible snapshots of his father’s courage in this tumultuous time.
