This #mossewednesday we bid a final farewell to our offices in the George L. Mosse Humanities building. In memory of all the work done in this building by George L. Mosse, John Tortorice, and countless other Mosseaner over the years, George's work desk was the last piece of furniture out the door.

This #mossewednesday we are happy to announce the publication of "What is Fascism?", a new collection of George Mosse's lectures and the responses of his peers at the prescient 1963 Stanford Seminar. #UWHistoryDept #EuropeanstudiesatUWMadison uwpress.wisc.edu/Books/W/What...

The Times of Israel just published an article on the important work Chad Gibbs is doing on resistance at Treblinka. Chad provided additional context about the project in his March 23 Mosse Lecture, which you can watch below: www.timesofisrael.com/new-treblink... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0oC...

New Treblinka research uncovers forgotten role of women in 1943 death camp revolt

Apart from two female survivors, all testimony about Treblinka came from male inmates. In a new book, historian Chad S.A. Gibbs restores Jewish women's overlooked place in camp resistance

As I sit down to conceptualize my own Mosse lectures for the fall I decided it would be good preparation to watch some of what came before. Perhaps I shouldn't have started with Martin Jay's - how on earth will I compete with an opening anecdote that starts with a letter from Mosse to Jay saying:
