"Hidden Histories of World War II"

Presentation by Dr. Vanessa Plumly

Have you ever wondered what really happened to Black individuals living in, coming to, and returning from Europe around the time of the Second World War and how you can integrate this into your curriculum? If so, this workshop led by Dr. Vanessa Plumly in the Spring of 2023, will offer you the opportunity to explore the diverse experiences of Black people’s resistance to lived realities of oppression, especially African Americans and Black Germans, before, during, and after Germany’s Third Reich. The scope of WWII and the Holocaust is revealed in these histories and personal accounts which you will be able to engage in with Dr. Plumly.
