Professors of History Maurice Isserman and Esther Kanipe traveled to France and Belgium with the students of the College's Sophomore Seminar on World War II, "The Politics and History of World War II."
The group traveled around some of the most important sites in the European theatre of the war. The trip included tours of Omaha Beach, Barquette Loch, German cemeteries in Normandy, Bastogne, and the site of the Battle of the Bulge. Students honored Waldron Moser Polgreen, Hamilton College '31, by laying a wreath at his grave.
The course, "The Politics and History of World War II," is an intense study of the military and political aspects of the war, important figures involved in the conflict, and the effect on those who fought, with an emphasis on American infantry fighting in Europe.
