The Sword Outside, the Plague Within - Stories of the Spanish Flu
Wednesday, May 5th at 9:30am
Penn State History Professor, John Eicher embarked on a one-of-a-kind study delving into the pandemic of a century past—the 1918 “Spanish” flu in Germany when the coronavirus pandemic hit. COVID-19 has added an unexpected dimension to Eicher’s research. While uncovering Spanish flu survivors’ stories, he’s using his finding to compare their reactions to the 1918 pandemic with European's’ reactions to the coronavirus. Join in to hear this fascinating tale of pandemics past and present.
Because Professor Eicher is currently in Germany, this presentation will be live online at 9:30 am. If that time is inconvenient for you, still sign up and we'll e-mail you the presentation to watch at your convenience. This program will take place over Zoom.
