Listen "Rebecca Wittmann: Engaging with the Past"
Episode Synopsis
On this edition of VIEW to the U podcast, Professor Rebecca Wittmann from the Department of Historical Studies speaks broadly about her research on the Holocaust and its enduring effect on Germany and subsequent generations.
We also cover a range of topics in relation to her work, including Rebecca’s very personal connection to this area of research, how Germany has confronted its past, and what lessons are to be drawn from it in light of some of the current political tension around the world. She also talks about her observations on the changing and enhanced academic environment at UTM.
