Fall 2005 Fairhaven Lecture Series: World War II
Released: September 1, 2005
The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater fall 2005 Fairhaven Lecture Series, “World War II: A Lifetime Later,” begins Sept. 26 and runs weekly through Nov. 28. The lectures are located in Fellowship Hall at the Fairhaven Retirement Community, 435 West Starin Road, in Whitewater. Presentations are free and open to the public, and will last 30-35 minutes with 20 minutes for questions.
“The connecting idea in this series is the merit of human experience,” said Hadley Klug, lecture series coordinator. “The lectures will range from how World War II affected the lives of average Germans and Americans to Holocaust survivors.”
The series is sponsored by the office of Graduate Studies and Continuing Education. For more information, contact Kathy Gibbs, Continuing Education outreach program manager, at (262) 472-5247.
