Fritz Stern is considered to be one of the most significant US-American historians of our times. The focus of much of Stern's work is attempting to track the development of the rise of National Socialism in Germany and its characteristics, on which he published several important analytic works. In his most recent book, titled “Five Germanys I Have Known”, he reflects his own biography in the context of one century worth of German history. In his lecture, Stern will thematize the upcoming presidential election in the US and its impact on Europe and Germany on the backdrop of the history of US-American transatlantic relations.
