George Mosse - Legacy

Legacy

Mosse left a substantial bequest to the University of Wisconsin–Madison to establish the George L. Mosse Program in History, a collaborative program with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He also left an endowment to support LGBT studies at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the University of Amsterdam, where he had taught as a visiting professor. The endowment was largely funded by the restitution of Mosse family properties expropriated by the Nazi regime, which were restored to the Mosses family in 1989-90 following the collapse of East Germany.
