January 24
"The Last Days of Theresienstadt” will be presented by Dr. Skye Doney, Covenant member and the Director of the George L. Mosse Program in History at UW-Madison. He translated, edited, and annotated Eva Noack-Mosse’s Holocaust memoir, Last Days of Theresienstadt (Madison, 2018). Noack-Mosse was deported to the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt in early 1945. Because she was a trained journalist and expert typist, she was put to work in the camp compiling lists of inmates arriving and being deported, possessions confiscated from inmates, and other details. She also had access to camp records, and she recorded statistics and her own observations in a secret diary. The book describes not only life in the camp but her eventual liberation and return home.
Dr. Doney’s articles have appeared most recently in The Catholic Historical Review and Environment, Space, Place. Currently he is completing a manuscript on German Catholic religious practices between the 1830s and 1930s.
This class will meet at 10:00 am via Zoom.
