HIST 4273 Nazi Germany

Berlin, Germany (spring 2017 & spring 2019)

Professor Elizabeth Drummond’s course on the history of Nazi Germany has twice included a Spring Break trip to Berlin, where students visited museums, memorials, and other sites of memory to examine how Germans have grappled with the history and memory of Nazism and the Holocaust, what Germans call Vergangenheitsbewältigung. In spring 2017, students created their own public website about the history of Nazism and the Holocaust; in spring 2019 students created a timeline, with blog essays about various aspects of the history of Nazi Germany (see Public History Projects page for more information).
