| 10/26/20 | Austro-Hungarians in Canada’s Internment Camps, 1914-1920: Part of a Worldwide Story | Starting in the 1890’s, countries around the world, including Spain, the US, and the British Empire, began a policy of interning populations considered potentially dangerous. Professor Patrouch outlines this context before concentrating on the internment camp system set up in Canada during the First World War in which thousands of men (and some women and children) from Austria-Hungary were incarcerated. | 36m 26s | |
| 10/19/20 | Lt. Commander Sir Georg von Trapp and Maria Kutschera: The Story behind the “Sound of Music” | When thinking about Austria, many people in North America almost automatically think of the movie and musical “The Sound of Music”. In this presentation, Professor Patrouch introduces the source for these cultural productions. He then concentrates on the military career of “the Captain”, the life of his first wife and the family’s history before Maria. | 37m 22s | |

| 9/29/20 | Early Modern Climate Change: “The Little Ice Age” hits Central Europe | For decades historians have been accumulating data showing a marked cooling of the European climate in the later Medieval and Early Modern periods.
