Details

Please join as Dr. Alan L. Berger, Raddock Family Eminent Scholar Chair for Holocaust Studies at Florida Atlantic University, presents the Michael and Elaine Jaffe Lecture in conjunction with the 55th Annual Scholars' Conference.

The past decade has witnessed a veritable explosion of novels, short stories, graphic novels, and films dealing with the traumatic legacy of Holocaust inheritance on the third generation (grandchildren of survivors - and perpetrators). The interpretive issue can be framed between "Post memory" (M. Hirsch) and "living after" (E. Hoffman). A helpful trope is offered by (G. Bayer) who observes an approach to navigating the Holocaust attempts to "bridge the gap to the present, thereby making traumatic events of the past relevant for the present."

This event is being presented free of charge, but registration is required via this link. Please note - lunch may not be guaranteed for RSVPs made after March 3rd.
