What is the relationship between anti-Black racism, antisemitism, sexism, and Nazism? Why did the white supremacists who marched at Charlottesville in 2017 to protest removal of a statue of Robert E. Lee carry swastika flags and shout, “Jews will not replace us?” Why did the number of lynchings in the United States spike in 1933, the year Hitler came to power in Germany? Howard University professor Kelly Miller noted a “striking analogy” between “race prejudice” against Blacks in America and Jews in Germany, and other African American and Caribbean observers at the time expressed similar views. Why have their insights been largely forgotten? This talk addresses these and other questions by looking back at the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust and analyzing connections to our own times.

Doris Bergen is the Chancellor Rose and Ray Wolfe Professor of Holocaust Studies at the University of Toronto. Bergen is the author of Twisted Cross: The German Christian Movement in the Third Reich (1996), Between God and Hitler: Military Chaplains in Nazi Germany (2023), and War and Genocide: A Concise History of the Holocaust (4th edition 2024). She is a member of the Committee on Ethics, Religion, and the Holocaust of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Cosponsors: Nathan and Esther Pelz Holocaust Education Resource Center and UWM's History and Women's and Gender Studies Departments.
