This article is a pedagogical exploration of the nonperturbative issues entwining lattice gauge theory, anomalies, and chiral symmetry. After briefly reviewing the importance of chiral symmetry in particle physics the author discusses how anomalies complicate lattice formulations. Considerable information can be deduced from effective chiral Lagrangians, helping interpret the expectations for lattice models and elucidating the role of the CP-violating parameter Theta. One particularly elegant scheme for exploring this physics on the lattice is presented in some detail. This uses an auxiliary extra space-time dimension, with the physical world being a four-dimensional interface.
