Seminar: Teaching the Legacy of the Holocaust: Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Dates: June 2-13, 2008 The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum announces the 2008 Silberman Seminar for college/university faculty from all disciplines who are teaching or preparing to teach Holocaust or Holocaust-related courses that examine the impact and legacy of the Holocaust. Over two thirds of the Jews who perished at the hands of the Nazis and their allies lived within the borders of prewar Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine. This year's seminar will focus on the Holocaust in these regions and on the struggle of countries to come to terms with their Holocaust history; the current public debate on the involvement of their citizens in the perpetration of the Holocaust; and the complex issues of memory, memorialization, and remembrance. |
