Reminder:
International Conference on Holocaust Research
21-24 November
From 21-24 November, the International
Institute for Holocaust Research is convening an international
conference entitled: “Holocaust Research in Context: The Emergence
of Research Centers and Approaches,” as part of the events marking
Yad Vashem’s 50th anniversary. Unlike previous Yad
Vashem historical conferences focusing on different aspects of the
Holocaust, this conference will deal with Holocaust research
itself and the research centers that have emerged since the end of
WWII, with special emphasis on Yad Vashem’s role in its
establishment and development over the past half century.
Professor Gerhard Weinberg will deliver the keynote address on
“Two Separate Issues? Historiography of World War II and The
Holocaust.”
Highlighting the conference will be a
special session on “Who was Resposible for the Holocaust: Hitler
or the Germans?” marking the publication of The Origins of the
Final Solution: The Evaluation of Nazi Jewish Policy, September
1939-March 1942 by Professor Christopher Browning (published
by Yad Vashem in association with University of Nebraska Press ). Professor Browning, Professor Omer Bartov,
Professor Ulrich Herbert and Dr. Jürgen Matthäus will
address the audience. In addition, a full day of discussion will
be dedicated to the role of survivor testimony in shaping the
image of the Holocaust in historical research, in trials and in
literature.
The conference is being convened
through the generous support of the Gertner Center for
International Holocaust Conferences.
