EVENT on campus November 22nd

Second World War Symposium Series and Graduate Colloquium

Wilfried Wilms, Assistant Professor of German from Union College speaking on "The Bombing of Germany: Taboo, Repression, and the Politics of Memory."

Professor Wilms will help us understand how different nations have constructed their own particular histories and memories of the War. In this case, he looks at the devastating Allied bombings of German cities that have until very recently been excluded from German accounts of World War II and shaped by the politics of a an occupied and divided Germany after 1945.

We will be meeting in Atrium 126, or with overflow in Atrium Y144 on Monday, November 22 between 6-7 PM.
