University Library at Northwestern University, | Exhibition

Created by the Thomas Mann House, the travelling pop-up exhibition 'Thomas Mann: Democracy Will Win!' commemorates the series of lecture tours that the Nobel Laureate conducted throughout the Unites States from the late 1930s to the mid-1940s. The first of these tours began at Northwestern University, where more than 4000 people came to hear him speak about the fundamental reasons for liberal democracy.
