| Miami Hamilton’s own George
Vascik, associate professor of history, explores
a series of popular myths about the life of
Adolf Hitler during the next Michael J. Colligan
History Project lecture, Monday, April 18, beginning
at 7:30 p.m. in the Harry T. Wilks Conference
Center. The lecture is free and open to the
public.
Vascik argues that we have created a set of
myths that represent Hitler as odd or different
from ourselves as a way of coping with the crimes
of the Nazi era. Vascik is an author of numerous
articles and reviews and specializes in German
economic and political history. His current
project is a biography of the agrarian politician
Diederich Hahn.
The
Michael J. Colligan History Project is a
joint undertaking of the Colligan Fund Committee
of the Hamilton Community Foundation and the
Hamilton Campus of Miami University. It is made
possible by the generous bequest of Michael
J. Colligan, a prominent local businessman and
amateur historian.
