Christopher R. Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor of History University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, will visit April 1-3 to deliver the George L. Mosse lectures.

Browning is the leading American historian of the Holocaust. He has published six books on the Holocaust, of which the most recent is “Nazi Policy, Jewish Workers, German Killers” (2000).

The lectures will be at 4:30 p.m. each day at Howard Auditorium, Fluno Center for Executive Education, 601 University Ave.

Browning will speak about “Collected Memories: Holocaust History and Post-War Testimony.” The April 1 lecture addresses “Perpetrator Testimony: Another Look at Adolf Eichmann.” April 2 is “Survivor Testimony from Starachowice: Writing the History of a Factory Slave Labor Camp.” And April 3 is “Survivor Testimony from Starachowice: The Final Days.”

Mosse, who was renowned for his academic work on sexuality and concepts of masculinity, left Germany to escape Nazi persecution. After retirement from UW–Madison, Mosse continued his academic work and also was the first scholar-in-residence at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
