In conjunction with the Americans and the Holocaust traveling exhibition at the Calvin T. Ryan Library on the University of Nebraska Kearney campus, the 1940 film "The Great Dictator" will be screened at the World Theatre. The Great Dictator (1940), directed, produced by, and starring Charlie Chaplin, is a political satire and black comedy that vehemently condemned Hitler and Mussolini as well as their ideologies. It was wildly popular and is in the National Film Registry. Following the film, Dr. Torsten Homberger, UNK History, and Prof. Jacob Rosdail, UNK Communication will discuss the historical context of the film as well as its cultural impact.
