Fall 2026 Einspruch Lecture: "The Holocaust as a European Project" | UTD
Fall 2026 Einspruch Lecture: "The Holocaust as a European Project" | UTD 4:00pm - 5:30pm (1h 30m)
Speaking Engagements
Starts Nov 1, 2026 at 4:00pm
Ends Nov 1, 2026 at 5:30pm
The Holocaust is too often remembered as a German crime that swept across a passive continent. This lecture challenges that comforting narrative. Drawing on the historical record, it argues that the destruction of the European Jews was not merely tolerated but actively enabled by administrations, institutions, and ordinary citizens across occupied and unoccupied Europe alike.

Speaking Engagements
Starts Nov 2, 2026 at 1:00pm
Ends Nov 2, 2026 at 3:00pm
Between 1942 and 1943, the ghettos of Eastern Europe were destroyed in a wave of "liquidation actions" — operations that followed a chillingly consistent pattern from town to town, as if executed from a single script. This lecture examines that pattern: how it was organized, how it repeated itself across hundreds of communities, and what it reveals about the machinery behind it.
