As always, I superb discussion of the design of the Nuremberg trials, and it’s primary players.
The tour was a wonderful overview of a very difficult time and topic. Dr. Ballard’s knowledge and sensibilities regarding these difficult times are impressive and Quite enjoyable. I would highly recommend any tour he leads.
I always enjoy Dr. Ballard's seminars and this one was no exception. He has a great conversational tone and is an excellent public speaker. The content was thoroughly researched and a lot was covered in a short amount of time.
Dr. Ballad’s knowledge of the subject matter is amazing and his presentation is both informative and very enjoyable. He is able to provide what some might refer to as trivial details however I find these details make the subject more interesting and the individuals come alive as real persons.
Dr. Ballard is the best lecturer on a difficult subject. He clarifies the players, the time line and the results of these trials. I wish he would analyze the other 12 trials - his insights would be valuable
