January 1, 2002 will see the introduction of the euro in 12 of the 15 member states of the European Union. It will be worldwide a currency with a circulation second only to that of the United States, used by over 300 million Europeans. The 1960s saw the emergence of cautious dialogue about the feasibility of a common market led by Germany's Helmut Kohl and Frances Francois Mitterand who wished to facilitate a common trade. The idea gradually became a reality after the fall of the Berlin Wall at the end of the 1980s; integration was seen as part of the peacemaking process. Its development was largely a matter of bargains struck between Europes two largest countries; Mitterand saw union as a way to make German unification more acceptable for the French people. The Common Market became the European Union (EU); membership grew from 6 countries to 15. Meetings at Maastricht in 1991 and Dublin in 1996 produced the resolution to issue a single currency and the selection of the Euro design. It resembles no other currency and is acceptable to all the members; production advice was sought from Orell Fussli, producer of the Swiss currency, judged to be the least susceptible to counterfeiting. But will the euro be safe? The US, with 350 billion in bank notes in circulation worldwide, uses only 2 printing sites (Ft. Worth, Texas, and Washington, DC) and had made no major currency changes from 1928 to 1996, and yet concedes that much of its non-US circulation may be forged. Europe per se has no penal law and no EU police organization to contend with forgers. In matters of judicial authority, law and police, member states cling to sovereignty. Euros will be printed in 10 different locations, with national variations in each bill. Some contend that The once-only chance to make the euro the worlds safest and most reliable currency has been over-ridden by national interest. If forgery undermines public confidence in the EU currency the economy will be crippled with untold consequences. Are Interpol and the various national polices adequate to prevent organized crime from having a field day? The Making of the Euro probes this question and presents concerns and contentions from both sides of the issue.

Some of the biggest names in German industry -- including Volkswagen, Daimler-Benz, Krupp, and BMW -- profited during World War II in part because they used slave and forced labor, Lesley Stahl reports in this piece from 1998. Millions of Jews, Poles, and Russians who were taken prisoner by the Nazis were enslaved, working under horrific conditions. Now the survivors have banded together and sued these companies, demanding compensation.

In the early years of this century, authorities were obsessed with a belief that the "racial stock" of the country was in decline. By the 1930's, over half the states had enacted eugenic sterilization laws, giving states the right to forcibly sterilize citizens they deemed "unfit" to reproduce. This haunting film tells the story of what happened at The Lynchburg Colony for the Epileptic and Feebleminded in, Virginia. There, between 1927 and 1972, over 8,000 children and young teenagers were forcibly sterilized. The state claimed they had hereditary defects that would be passed on to their potential offspring: in fact most were simply poor, ill-educated and considered a financial burden on the state. Sterilization victims interviewed today tell of the devastating impact on their lives.These individual tragedies have a broader political context. The sterilization law declared constitutional in the U.S. in 1927 became the basis of Hitler's eugenics program. It was the beginning of the Holocaust as sterilization gave way to killing undesirables. American biologist, Dr. Harry Laughlin, who drafted the legislation, was awarded an honorary doctorate in Germany in 1936. Goebbels was the guest of honor. College Adult

Europe is in the grip of an immigration crisis: people from Africa, the Middle East, and elsewhere are arriving in ever greater numbers as they flee war, oppression, and a lack of opportunity. Germany receives more asylum seekers than any other European country.The Invisibles presents the human face of the immigration crisis, following four migrants from Syria, Kenya and Cameroon as they wade through Germany's rigorous immigration process and await the final verdict on their applications for asylum. At the initial registration center in Eisenhüttenstadt, the men bond with fellow asylum seekers and attempt to stave off boredom and growing anxiety about their future. For all four, Germany is their only option. There is no “Plan B” should their applications be rejected. Some face life threatening circumstances if they are deported back to their home country. All are aware of how slim their chances, as Germany accepts only about 25% of asylum applicants. Without narration, the camera lingers to convey the uneasy stasis their lives have now become during this long and uncertain transitional period. During their three month wait in Germany, they are transferred to other camps or centers. As one man puts it while surveying his new location, “Is this our home or our new cage?”
