GERALD D. FELDMAN LECTURE SERIES

Gerald D. Feldman was an extremely active and engaged member of the GSA.  Thus it is fitting that the Friends of the German Historical Institute -- on which the GSA is represented -- is creating an endowment to support a lecture series in his honor.  Here is the announcement:

The Friends of the German Historical Institute Washington, DC are seeking to establish an endowment to support an annual Gerald D. Feldman Lecture Series.

Gerald Feldman (1937–2007) taught history at the University of California, Berkeley.

There are very few individuals who have contributed so greatly to the transatlantic historical dialogue. Gerald Feldman published groundbreaking works on the history of World War One, hyperinflation and the history of German corporations. In
addition to these achievements he was an inspiring teacher who mentored an extraordinary number of young historians who went on to make their mark in the field.

Gerald Feldman was a key figure in reappraising the role of German corporations during the National Socialist regime and served as an advisor and author on significant projects in the
field. He also served on the editorial board of the journal Contemporary European History for more than fifteen years, acted as Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Friends of the GHI, and as director of Berkeley’s Center for German
and European Studies. The Gerald D. Feldman Lecture Series will commemorate these and his many other achievements.

The Friends of the German Historical Institute ask for your support in establishing the Gerald D. Feldman Lecture Series endowment fund. Donations to the endowment can be made out to:
