Ms. Cox my name is mary cox. Im so pleased to be here. This is my first hoover days. I just published my first book. Ill do a little plug. It was just released in the u. S. A few weeks ago. Todays lecture covers a lot of whats inside the book, but theres also a lot more that is in there. What i want to do is tell you a story about what it was like to be in germany as a civilian during the First World War and in the years following. As part of that story, i will be discussing Herbert Hoover, some of things he did to alleviate suffering in germany, which remember, had been a big enemy of the allies of the u. S.
