Germany: From Monarchy to Modernity ( Winter Term 2025)

Participant Testimonials:

Each presentation was richly illustrated with graphics and images. Summaries as well as the presentation materials were provided to support further review after each class. Magnificently organized as we were led through time.

Christiana and Lee presented an outstanding course. I appreciate all the research and their efforts to present the under trying weather conditions. This course was very special to me as I was born in Germany and my parents came to US when I was one. We dropped Germany heritage because we lived close to a military base. Many thanks for filling in gaps in my heritage.
