History

Robert Kunath grew up outside of Cleveland, Ohio, and follows the Cleveland Browns and the Cleveland Orchestra with equal commitment. He has published articles on World War I and its effect on German/European art, as well as articles on the history of the Holocaust, and he regularly presents at academic conferences in the US and Europe. He has been invited to speak in December 2018 at the University of Paderborn (Germany) conference on the work of Hannah Arendt.  He has participated in the Holocaust Education Foundations' Summer Institute on the Holocaust and Jewish Civilization at Northwestern University and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's 1999 Summer Seminar with pathbreaking Holocaust historian Raul Hilberg.  His current research focuses on the murder of ninety Jewish children in August 1941 and the involvement of the German Army in the Holocaust. 

Professor Kunath loves reading, listening to classical music, and cats (he and his wife have five). He collects classic ghost stories, recordings by the Cleveland Orchestra, and recordings of the Sibelius 4th Symphony (he's up to 35 and counting, and is especially proud of having the 1934 Georg Schneevoigt recording).
