Chapter 2: Dancing In The Dark
from An Article Of Faith: Mormonism, Fascism, and the Third Reich · host Justin Rich
As the regional Mormon youth dance unfolds in a grand Hamburg hall, music, memory, and quiet defiance collide. Friedrich Weber watches his world shift—first through a forbidden jazz song, then through the woman who dares to sing it. Amid chandeliers and shadowed glances, a single performance becomes an act of rebellion, and friendships are tested by the creeping weight of complicity. When silence is safety and rhythm is resistance, can one dance rewrite what the Reich demands we forget?
