The Hoover Institution Library & Archives proudly cosponsors Germany in Crisis: WWI, a Treaty and the Emergence of Hitler’s Genocidal Antisemitism. This virtual event is hosted by the National WWI Museum and Memorial and will be held on Monday, April 17, at 5 pm PT | 7 pm CT.
Among the most vocal dissidents of the Treaty of Versailles, Adolf Hitler saw in WWI and the Treaty the apex of the most dangerous do-or-die crisis in more than half a millennium. Join us on the centennial of Hitler’s 1923 Versailles speech for a lecture with Prof. Thomas Weber, Professor of History and International Affairs at the University of Aberdeen and Visiting Fellow of the Hoover Institution at Stanford University for an exploration of how Hitler identified the Jews as the originators of the crisis, and in the process turned toward genocidal antisemitism. Based on new research published in mid-April.
