Why are we obsessed with the Nazis? The Third Reich in History and Memory
Sir Richard Evans and Sir Ian Kershaw in conversation with Professor Nikolaus Wachsmann

Pears Institute for the study of Antisemitism in partnership with Department of History, Classics and Archaeology, Birkbeck, University of London and the Institute of Historical Research.


Date: Tuesday 12 May 2015
Time: 6.30-8.00pm
Venue: Beveridge Hall, Senate House, Malet Street, London, WC1E 7HU

The legacy of Nazi Germany still has a strong hold on us – in daily news stories, in bookshops and cinemas, on television and on the Internet. But how has our thinking about the Third Reich changed over the decades? In a rare public event, two of the world’s leading historians of modern Germany reflect on the ways in which our understanding of Nazi Germany has been transformed and continues to evolve.

The discussion will be followed by a reception to mark the recent publication of Richard Evans’ The Third Reich in History and Memory and Nikolaus Wachsmann’s KL: A History of the Nazi Concentration Camps.
