SUMMARY:Echoes & Reflections | Villains Into Heroes: The Rehabilitation of Antisemites\, Fascists\, and Others Complicit in Holocaust Crimes
DESCRIPTION:Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history\, explore and access classroom-ready content\, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.\nThis webinar critically examines contemporary efforts to rehabilitate the reputations of Holocaust-era perpetrators and fascist organizations\, situating these developments within broader debates on historical memory\, revisionism\, and political culture. Led by Dr. Rob Williams\, the Chief Executive Officer and Finci-Viterbi Chair of USC Shoah Foundation\, the session will analyze the diverse motivations underpinning such efforts\, including state-led initiatives\, civil society actions\, and diasporic influences\, as well as less intentional forms of distortion rooted in misinformation or historical illiteracy. It will explore how these processes contribute to the normalization of antisemitism and other forms of exclusion\, undermine democratic institutions\, and function as a transnational phenomenon. Attendees will consider the implications for historical scholarship and public memory.\nTo register\, click here.&nbsp\;
