Meeting Room 1 (Large Glass), 1st Floor

The University of Toledo and the Toledo Public Library present Understanding the World. Gain fresh insights into the events transforming our world; from power and politics to conflict and culture.

This session is presented by Dr. Barry Jackisch, Associate Professor of History.

Barry Jackisch is an associate professor working in modern European and world history. He received his Ph.D. from the State University of New York-Buffalo (SUNY), and specializes in the history of Germany, antisemitism and the Holocaust, as well as comparative approaches to war, genocide, human rights, race, and the environment. His first book, The Pan-German League and Radical Nationalist Politics in Interwar Germany, 1918-1939 (Ashgate, 2012), examines an extremist antisemitic political organization independent from the Nazis and its role in destabilizing Germany’s inter-war democracy. Dr. Jackisch has also published six additional articles on topics including Nazi propaganda and the press and Berlin’s urban environment.
