Germany and Poland
HIS 195 / ENL 270
Theodor Adorno famously remarked that after Auschwitz there could be no more poetry. Since World War II, Eastern Europeans have endured loss, defeat, occupation, division, communism, resistance movements and, finally in 1989, freedom. This travel seminar explores a traumatic and fascinating period and traces Eastern Europeans' varied and shifting experiences and memories. How have people made sense of their suffering? In what ways have German, Polish and other Eastern European artists and writers captured these memories, even while these events are quickly passing out of living memory?
On our travels, we will visit some of most significant sites of the wartime and postwar period: Berlin, Leipzig, Wittenberg and Dresden in Germany; Gdansk, Warsaw, Kracow and Auschwitz / Birkenau in Poland. The itinerary includes visits with people who experienced these events, as well as to sites and memorials dedicated to the memory of World War II and the Holocaust; communism and life behind the Iron Curtain; and resistance and freedom movements in the 1960s and 1980s.
More information is available from the Augsburg Abroad Office, as well as from Prof. Jacqueline deVries <devries@augsburg.edu> and Bob Cowgill <cowgillr@augsburg.edu>

Hi, we are looking to have two more roommates! We are two women looking to live in Luther Hall.
We're looking for roommates who fit with our personalities, so we're looking for other people who:
-Take care of the apartment (we keep it clean; we would want our roommates to as well)
-Have a positive, laid-back attitude
-Men or women (There's pros and cons to both!)
-Are junior or senior status (essential in order to make it into Luther)
If this fits your description, please e-mail one or both of us!
