Description:

The Holocaust Educational Foundation of Northwestern University continues its new series of scholarly conversations: Holocaust Studies, Terror, and War. 

Virtual Event: "Holocaust Education and Antisemitism"

Sunday, 11 February 2024 (Zoom)

11 AM Central Time, Registration is Required

In the wake of the Hamas attack on Israeli civilians on 7 October 2023, how do we as a community of scholars try to make sense of the events of that day, the subsequent war on Gaza, and the ongoing crisis in Israel/Palestine, among other acts of political violence?

This series of conversations is meant as a space for Holocaust scholars to discuss how our scholarship shapes understanding of political violence and the impact of political violence on our community and the work we do.

Moderated by Avinoam Patt (New York University), the third conversation among Laura Hilton (Muskingum University), Amy McDonald (Alabama Holocaust Education Center), and Alexandra Zapruder (The Defiant Requiem Foundation) will discuss Holocaust education, antisemitism, and how their approaches to both have shifted since 10/7.

This conversation will take place on Wednesday, 3 April, 12 Noon Eastern (7pm Israel; 5pm UK; 9am Pacific) via Zoom. Registration is required.

This is the final conversation in the series for this academic year.
