The article “Wannsee: Place and Deed,” by Colgate’s own Peter Balakian, was recently published by the Chronicle of Higher Education:
I was having tea with a group of writers and scholars on the veranda of a formidable white-stucco, red-tile-roof house looking out at Lake Wannsee on the western edge of Berlin. The lake was wrapped by stretches of beach and a marina, but mostly by woods, impressive late-Victorian houses, and sleek new ones of glass, metal, and wood.
