On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the D-Day Landing and the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, Gary Lee Kraut’s insightful illustrated lecture examines the war sites in France and why visiting them is pertinent to Americans of all ages, though they live far removed from the old battlefields of Europe. He will explain how war tourism can be a uniquely personal form of travel and will speak of some of the fascinating people he’s met during his work as a travel writer and traveling lecturer, including WWII vets and their children and grandchildren.
Travel writer and journalist Gary Lee Kraut has lived in Paris for 25 years. Author of five guidebooks to Paris and France and of hundreds of articles about travel and culture, he is the editor of the online travel and culture magazine France Revisited, www.francerevisited.com.

Citizenship in a Democracy: Ancient Greece and Beyond
More than 2000 years after the foundation of the world’s first democracy in a small city-state called Athens, there are still lessons we can learn from it. Greek political culture, which intersected with the overlapping spheres of religion, war, and social values, has left an enduring legacy that continues to affect the way we formulate our questions and confront our challenges.
