George Lachmann Mosse was a professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1955 to 1989. His scholarly focus included 19th and 20th century history, Jewish studies, Nazi ideology, fascism, sexuality, and LGBT history. Born in Germany, his family fled Nazi persecution against German Jews and the family eventually entered the United States. He later enrolled at Haverford College and went on to complete his PhD at Harvard in 1946. Mosse had a long and fruitful academic career and taught at and was employed by several institutions. He was a member of multiple committees and associations over the course of his long career, had active correspondence with colleagues, academics, and family, and was widely published on the subjects of Nazi ideology and sexuality. In 2001, the George L. Mosse Program in History was established by the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a joint program with the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, of which Mosse had close ties, and endowments were made by Mosse to support LGBT Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Amsterdam.
