To Prof. David Hackett Fischer (HIST), “history is not only about the past: it’s about memories of the past, it’s about experiences of the present, and it’s about anticipation of the future,” Fischer said in an interview with the Justice. In describing his childhood, Fischer recalls growing up in the midst of great historical events like the Great Depression, World War II and the Cold War. Yet to Fischer — and no doubt to many others — these events were also family events. “War was very much a part of my own experience,” Fischer said.
A SMILING SUCCESS: Prof. Fischer’s numerous historical publications have won him a Pulitzer Prize and now a Pritzker Award.
A HISTORIAN’S DREAM: Prof. Fischer’s bestselling book “Champlain’s Dream” inspired a French-Canadian docudrama series called, “Le Rêve de Champlain.”
