Thucydides
WWII story
Thucydides:
The Peloponnesian War
War Orphan in San Francisco:
Growing Up with Courage
Athens ruled the seas, Sparta was invincible on land. They were polar opposites — the one
exuberantly democratic, risk-takingly creative; the
other disciplined from the cradle, the home of all the
purely military virtues. A tragic necessity embedded
in human affairs locked the two in a conflict for
supremacy that brought an end to Greek liberty.
Happily, the encounter found in the Athenian general
Thucydides its deeply thoughtful historian. We will
read him in Rex Warner’s able translation (Penguin
Classics).
Marcel Gutwirth, PhD,
Professor Emeritus, Haverford College
In 1940, young Lizzi’s “Kindertransport”

homes, an orphanage and a painful adolescence
without her parents, except for their guiding letters.
Learn how her misfortunes were forged into a meaningful, productive adult life.
