Hans Wuerth, professor emeritus of German language and literature at Moravian College, will speak on “Euthanasia and the Holocaust” noon today at Interfaith Chapel, Hogg Hall.
Sponsored by Hillel Society, the talk is free and open to the public. The event is part of Lafayette’s second annual United Against Hate Week.
Wuerth has lectured frequently on a variety of Holocaust-related topics and on the history of national socialism. He has organized and led about 20 trips to Europe, mostly with students. All of these trips included stops at former concentration camps, places of persecution, memorials, and museums. Wuerth also has led annual student trips to Washington, D.C. to visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. He taught at Moravian for 32 years until his retirement last year.
