SUMMARY:“Weimar and Us: Lessons for Today from Interwar Germany\, Part III:  National Socialism and the Decline of the Weimar Republic” Sheri Berman in Conversation with John Torpey
DESCRIPTION:TIME CHANGE: Our event will begin at 7 pm tonight (originally 6:30 pm) due to major delays in northeast corridor Amtrak trains. We apologize for the inconvenience. \nA major national election looms and the leader who years earlier had encouraged an insurrection is campaigning to a devoted audience. Politically tinged trials unfold in the courts\, and political violence appears to be spreading amidst armed protests and assassination attempts. The above could describe Weimar Germany in the 1920s\, but also characterizes the United States of America in 2024. This series seeks insights from the history of the Weimar Republic that might illuminate our current social and political climate—a fraught era for the American republic just as Weimar was for Germany. \nIn the third and final event of this series\, join political scientist Sheri Berman (Barnard College\, Columbia University) and sociologist John Torpey (The Graduate Center) for a conversation about \nNational Socialism and the Decline of the Weimar Republic \nDate and Location: \nWednesday\, October 30\, 2024\n6:30 PM-8 PM\, The Skylight Room\, 9th Floor\nThe Graduate Center\, CUNY (365 Fifth Avenue) \nPlease RSVP by clicking the button below. \nSheri Berman is a professor of Political Science at Barnard College\, Columbia University.

She currently serves on the boards of the Journal of Democracy\, Dissent and Political Science Quarterly.
