Discussing the History of Nazism and Antisemitism with Jeffrey Herf
In Episode 4, ARHU Dean Stephanie Shonekan is joined by Jeffrey Herf, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus from ARHU’s Department of History. They discuss Herf’s path to becoming a leading scholar on modern Germany, the history of antisemitism in pre-modern and modern history and the creation of Israel as a Jewish state forged in the shadow of World War II and the Holocaust, and what people should understand about that history to have a context for the current rise in antisemitism and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
