    Robert M. Citino, the retired Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Historian at the National WWII Museum, presents "The Fascist Lair: the Battle of Berlin."
    This lecture, cosponsored by the Department of History, is being held in conjunction with the spring Rare Books and Special Collection exhibit, "Tragedies of War: Images of WWII in Print Visual Culture."
    About the Exhibit
    This exhibit commemorates the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War (1939-1945) using primarily European visual sources recently acquired by Rare Books and Special Collections. It showcases over forty works on paper, including posters, maps, propaganda ephemera, and illustrated books, as well as photographs and first-hand accounts. The exhibit explores themes of Nazi racial ideology, the Holocaust, children in war, resistance, liberation, and memories of war. By examining images created for personal use and for state-sponsored propaganda, the exhibit presents a visual narrative of the war’s profound impact on individuals and societies, offering deeper insight into how this war was experienced and remembered.
    This exhibit is curated by Natasha Lyandres, Curator, Rare Books & Special Collections, Jean McManus, Catholic Studies Librarian, University Archives, and Julia Schneider, German Language and Literature and Italian Studies Librarian, Hesburgh Libraries. This and other exhibits within the Hesburgh Libraries are generously supported by the McBrien Special Collections Endowment.
    All exhibits are free and open to the public during business hours.


    Open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, staff, postdocs, the public, alumni, and friends.
