By studying the years between World War I and World War II as a single era, this course attempts to analyze connections and ruptures between the Weimar Republic and Third Reich. The course, first, uses several larger, synthetic works to study the contours of historiography on interwar Germany. Then, in order to dig into these larger historiographical issues, we look closely at primary and secondary materials relating to gender, race, and culture. Three exemplary papers from each of those topics are posted here. Every student, as well, completed a detailed research project that sought to study connections between the Weimar and Nazi years. Several of those projects are also posted here.
