Georg Gerson Iggers (December 7, 1926 – November 26, 2017) was an American historian of modern Europe, historiography, and European intellectual history.[1]
Life and career
Iggers was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1926.
Being a German Jew he fled Germany with his family to the US in 1938, only few weeks before the Kristallnacht.[2] Iggers belonged to the young émigrés from the Third Reich who later in life, as academic scholars in the United States, had a decisive impact on reviewing critically the history of Germany.[3]
In 1957, Iggers became the first White brother initiated into Phi Beta Sigma, a historically Black fraternity.
He was visiting professor at the Technische Universität Darmstadt in 1991.[4&
