Lecture

Luther’s German translation of the Bible has remained influential to this day; his hymns are still sung; and many still use his proverbs. But does all this make him the inventor of High German?

Timothy Snyder, the Housum Professor of History at Yale University, will be visiting the University of Waterloo to give the 2017 Grimm Lecture at the Waterloo Centre for German Studies. Snyder is best known for his 2010 book Bloodlands: Europe between Hitler and Stalin, and his recent Black Earth: The Holocaust as History and Warning.
