He's such a passionate professor and I loved taking his class. It's clear that he loves his area of expertise and enjoys teaching people about the Holocaust. The books and readings assigned are very interesting and most often a pretty easy read. I LOVED THIS PROFESSOR

One of the most well-taught classes I've taken. It isn't a 'bird course' but his lectures are so interesting you are guaranteed a good mark if you show up and pay attention.

Amazing!!! He is a profound teacher who makes you think, is very funny, and gives you goosbumps when you hear his stories. His passion shows through his lectures. He is the reason I want to persue a career in the study of Holocaust history.

Dr. Bruce is the GREATEST prof I have ever had. It is because of him that I am still pursuing history. He is ALWAYS available outside of class and he makes the students WANT to go to lecture. I never missed a class, just because he's so interesting and entertaining.

Prof Bruce was the best professor ive ever had. His avid interest in what he teaches is translated into how he teaches. His interest is contagious, after every class I wanted to go out and read more on what he taught. This man is a genious, funny and cares about his students. I looked forward to this class every day and hated when it ended.

Wow, what's there to say about Gary that hasn't been said.. He really is all that and more. Best professor I've had in 3 years, not to mention one of the only classes that I looked forward to attending and wished it wasn't over when the lecture ended. SO GREAT!
