Professor Emeritus Dr. Frederic Tubach UC Berkeley
Dr. Frederic Tubach, former Professor Emeritus in the German Department at University of California at Berkeley (UCB), was born in the USA in 1930. His musician father had heard good reports about the formation of the Third Reich and returned to Germany. His mother and Frederic soon followed. The family settled in Kleinheubach, a small village in southern Germany.
A year later, Frederic's mother died and he grew up in Germany during the Third Reich (1933-1945). His father served as an officer in the German Heer (Army). After the end of the war, Frederic came back to the USA and studied; he received his PhD in 1956.
Recently retired from UCB, he has written two books about his time and memories as a youth in Germany. He will discuss his most recent book, "German Voices", based on interviews with more than 400 Germans who also grew up in Germany during the Third Reich. His wife, Sally, the co-author of the book, will be with him. This should be a very interesting program as told from one "who was there!" Frederic's books will be available for sale.
