Special Cosponsored Panel with the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
"New Methods and Ethical Considerations for Understanding the Holocaust Eighty Years Later"
Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art
Join us as a geographer and archeologist discuss their investigations at/of Holocaust sites and the considerable amount of evidence they have found in their research that sheds new light on this genocide. Landscapes of the Holocaust are often perceived as spaces of erasure because of the extensive efforts made by the Nazis to hide their crimes and the passage of time. However, one of the overlooked aspects of this genocide is how it physically changed places, sometimes forever. Our speakers will introduce their methodologies and explain how a closer look at Holocaust sites can tell us the stories of the people who lived and died there, but who, often, cannot speak for themselves.
Light Refreshments to follow.
Visitor Parking is available for this Cosponsored Panel Event.
