About

This seminar aims to contribute to the ongoing debate surrounding the complex response to Nazism and the Holocaust in the United States during the 1930s and early 1940s. Specifically, it focuses on Harvard’s ambivalent role in rescuing displaced scholars and sheds light on the challenges faced by Harvard professors who were willing to assist their European colleagues in perilous circumstances.
