The new movie Nuremberg prompts audiences to remember not just that the Holocaust happened but how.
Behind the Story
From editorial project manager Mia Staub: I saw Nuremberg a few weeks ago at a film festival, so I was eager to see what Miles Werntz was going to say in his review that was published today. He focuses on the core question of the film: Could something like the Holocaust happen again? Or more generally, how do we ensure these horrors never repeat themselves?
The film’s release falls days after The Heritage Foundation’s Kevin Roberts defended Tucker Carlson’s decision to host Nick Fuentes, a neo-Nazi apologist, on his show. Russell Moore addressed the saga last week, asking, "Why do so many evangelical pastors and leaders not take [Nazification] seriously now?"
The producers of the film could not control the timing of recent events, but many who watch it will see it in conversation with the echoes of Nazism in our culture today. How does a film revisiting past events speak into our current age? How did we go from "Nazism is evil" to defending the choice to hear a neo-Nazi on a talk show? This "vibe shift," as Moore puts it, is something we have seen before and something we must condemn, because "what’s on the line for generations is a matter of eternity."

As we enter the holiday season, we consider how the places to which we belong shape us—and how we can be the face of welcome in a broken world. In this issue, you’ll read about how a monastery on Patmos offers quiet in a world of noise and, from Ann Voskamp, how God’s will is a place to find home. Read about modern missions terminology in our roundtable feature and about an astrophysicist’s thoughts on the Incarnation. Be sure to linger over Andy Olsen’s reported feature "An American Deportation" as we consider Christian responses to immigration policies. May we practice hospitality wherever we find ourselves.
