The class he taught on Nazi Germany, which is a nationally recognized class at Latin, ended with a simulation of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials. Alumni still regard that simulation and his Middle East Simulation as life-changing experiences.  

Consequently, he is the co-Founder of Reactlearning, a computer application company that makes it easier for educators to use simulations and role play games more effectively.

In addition to his teaching career, he is a professional actor, and is the education advisor to the Courtroom 600 Project. David is creating curriculum for the Four indictments Modules.

Over time, his interests have become more interdisciplinary, so Ross began developing courses on conspiracy theories and “fake news,” the debate between gun rights and gun regulations in America, the philosophical and moral justifications for going to war, and the development of international law and global justice.

He is most passionate about transitional justice, human rights, and the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial — and he is currently developing an immersive role-playing simulation of this historic event where students work as members of the press, prosecution, defense, or tribunal to achieve a set of objectives.

A firm believer in sharing knowledge with a broad audience, Ross has partnered with community organizations throughout the state to bring educational programming to North Carolinians, most recently serving as a Road Scholar with the North Carolina Humanities Council to present, “Judging Nazis: John Parker’s Nuremberg Journey.”  

Ross studied history and philosophy at Western Carolina University and earned his M.A. and Ph.D. from UNC Greensboro. When he’s not working, he enjoys basketball, hiking, and spending time with his family.

Dawn also worked extensively with Nuremberg Trial photographs held by the U.S. National Archives by importing digital images to Wikidata and creating metadata there for enhanced discovery and access.
Her research passions are the International Military Tribunal, the subsequent Nuremberg Trials and the breadth and monumentality of the labors undertaken by the Allied powers (from soldiers, intelligence officers, lawyers, prison guards, court translators, photographers, and file clerks) to document and deliver justice.
Dawn holds an undergraduate degree in Art History from Simmons University, Boston, and a Masters in Arts Administration from Boston University. Her personal passions are family, autism advocacy, her 1946 Jeep Willys, and collecting World War II artifacts and ephemera.

He was responsible for all visual evidence and made the presentation of two films to assure defendants of guilt since they were based on the Nazis own visual handiwork. George Stevens, John Ford and Bud Schulberg were integral in the creation of finished films presented by her father, who after the trial, became a pro bono lawyer for the U.S. Jewish survivors and reparations among other affiliations.

Mary Ellen is also on the Board of the South Carolina Humanities, a state-wide organization under the auspices of The National Endowment for the Arts. She came to the South as Director of Design for Springs Industries. Her forty years in the Home Furnishings industry concentrated on the arts and artists and wide travel for production. She won the HomeTex Award in her industry.

Fuller spearheaded the 2011 Humanities Festival in Sumter County and has curated several shows on sculpture, photography, and poetry. She is writing her first novel on the South and a screenplay on Cuba.

In her spare time, she has given seventy-five history speeches throughout South Carolina to clubs and schools about her father, who is portrayed by Tom Hanks in “Bridge of Spies”, a true historical movie about another chapter in her father’s life.

Mary Ellen believes raising the awareness of the mission of DMG provides the critical apex in community and national relevance and promotes the defining importance of far-reaching effects for years to come. Serving on the Board of Descendants Media Group was an exciting way to complete the circle of her father’s human rights work. DMG’s mission and its clarity combine well-needed history that is pertinent today for students, plus learning the embedded belief of knowing right from wrong.
