USC Shoah Foundation | Stitching the Fragmented: Teaching the Shoah in the Era of the Witness and Beyond
USC Shoah Foundation | Stitching the Fragmented: Teaching the Shoah in the Era of the Witness and Beyond 1:00pm - 2:00pm (1h)

Starts Jan 7, 2025 at 1:00pm

For the inaugural event in the Stanley D. Ginsburg USC Shoah Foundation Lecture Series, Mélanie Péron will explore the work of Hélène Berr, a volunteer at the Union Générale des Israélites de France (UGIF) who sheltered four Jewish children during the occupation of France. Using Hélène Berr’s diary, Ms. Péron will examine the official and clandestine roles played by the UGIF during the persecution and deportation of France’s Jews, and how sources such as diaries reveal individual stories in all their humanity, in many cases before they were reduced to a typed line on a convoy list. Finally, Ms. Péron will discuss using sources such as diaries and video testimonies to teach about the Shoah despite the inexorable disappearance of the last remaining witnesses.
