‎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.

Enumeration District Descriptions, 1850–1950
Enumeration District Descriptions, 1850–1950
Consists of written descriptions of Census Districts, Subdivisions, and Enumeration Districts. For the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Censuses there are textual descriptions of the Census District (usually a state or part of a state) and the Subdivision (usually a county or part of a county). Beginning with the 1880 Census, the descriptions relate to Enumeration Districts, which were areas that could be covered by a single enumerator (census taker) in a census period that lasted several weeks. The districts are described in terms of counties, parts of counties, townships, wards, precincts, blocks, and streets. The census boundaries are usually defined by political boundaries. Also included for some censuses are the names and addresses of enumerators and special instructions to them.
