‎The Ku Klux Klan in Northwestern Wisconsin, circa 1915-1950
‎The Ku Klux Klan in Northwestern Wisconsin, circa 1915-1950
Collection of records, pamphlets, newspaper clippings, ephemera, and artifacts. The KKK advocated patriotism, nativism, and anti-Catholicism. Although largely gone from Wisconsin by the late 1920s, the Klan persisted through the 1940s in northwestern Wisconsin. As evidenced by these materials, areas of Klan activity included Chippewa, Clark, and Pierce counties. Material for this collection has been drawn from the Wisconsin Historical Society, the University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire, and the University of Wisconsin--River Falls.

‎Nazi Culture Lectures
‎Nazi Culture Lectures

From 2007 until 2020 Jost Hermand and Marc Silberman (Dept. of German, University of Wisconsin-Madison) offered each spring semester a large-enrollment, undergraduate course called "Nazi Culture," conducted entirely in English and aimed at non German majors. The goal was to provide a perspective on how Germans experienced everyday life during the Third Reich.

Jost Hermand (born 1930 in Berlin) experienced the Third Reich first hand. He was forced to join the Hitler Youth, and after the war began and Berlin became the target of Allied bombings, he was evacuated to various Hitler Youth camps in Poland. Hermand joined the UW faculty in 1958 and became a Vilas Research professor in 1967 through his retirement in 2004. Marc Silberman (born 1948 in Minneapolis) joined the UW faculty in 1988 and retired in 2016.
