Classics in the BrowningDirected by Fritz LangWith Rudolf Klein-Rogge, Otto Wernicke, Oscar Beregi Sr.Not Rated, 121 minutes, Blu-rayIn German with English subtitlesLocked away in an asylum for a decade and teetering between life and death, the criminal mastermind Doctor Mabuse (Rudolf Klein-Rogge) has scribbled his last will and testament: a manifesto establishing a future empire of crime. When the document's nefarious writings start leading to terrifying parallels in reality, it's up to Berlin's star detective, Inspector Lohmann (Otto Wernicke, reprising his role from M) to connect the most fragmented, maddening clues in a case unlike any other. A sequel to his enormously successful silent film Dr. Mabuse: The Gambler, Fritz Lang's The Testament of Dr. Mabuse reunites the director with the character that had effectively launched his career. Lang put slogans and ideas expounded by the Nazis into the mouth of a madman, warning his audience of an imminent menace, which was soon to become a reality. Nazi Minister of Information Joseph Goebbels saw the film as an instruction manual for terrorist action against the government and banned it for "endangering public order and security." A landmark of mystery and suspense for countless espionage and noir thrillers to come, this is the complete, uncut original director's version in a stunning new transfer.

On May 12, 2025, a group of 59 white South Africans arrived in the United States as refugees on a flight chartered by the U.S. government. The new arrivals, many of whom are Afrikaner descendants of Dutch settlers, were granted refugee status based on claims they faced racial discrimination and violence in South Africa. At the center of this situation is South Africa’s land restitution program, which is designed to return land, under certain conditions, to Black communities that were dispossessed during the country’s Apartheid era. John Eligon, the Johannesburg bureau chief for The New York Times, has covered this story from all angles — including the passage of South Africa’s Expropriation Act, reactions to the policy in different communities, the Trump administration’s creation of a special refugee program for South Africa’s racial minorities, and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s pushback against narratives amplified by President Trump, Elon Musk, and others. Eligon will share insights from his reporting during “Post-Apartheid? Restitution and Racial Fear in South Africa,” a public conversation moderated by Dory Mitros Durham, assistant dean for academic affairs and associate teaching professor in Notre Dame’s Keough School of Global Affairs. About the speakerJohn Eligon has served as The New York Times’ Johannesburg bureau chief since 2021. In that role, he is responsible for covering countries in southern Africa. He writes about how big trends and phenomena — from climate change to political upheaval — influence and shape the lives of ordinary people across southern Africa. “My work seeks to upend easy assumptions and stereotypes about the region,” he says. “I strive to show readers a side of Africa they rarely see or hear about, like how the Apartheid-era townships have become a hub of nightlife for South Africa’s rising Black middle class, or how the Rugby World Cup unified a very divided South Africa.” Eligon’s career at The New York Times started in 2005 as a sports reporter. He has covered courts for the Metro section and was a correspondent for the National section based in Kansas City, Missouri. He spent most of his time on the National desk covering issues of race across the United States. He was The Times’ first reporter on the ground in Minneapolis following the murder of George Floyd, and wrote extensively about the national movement for racial justice that it sparked. Several years earlier, he helped to shepherd The Times’ coverage of the police killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri. Eligon was born in the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, and grew up mainly in Florida and Michigan. He is a graduate of Northwestern University, where he earned degrees in journalism and German. Originally published at klau.nd.edu.
