TALK: Holocaust Testimony in a Genocidal Age
Geoffrey Hartman (Yale)
Monday, April 19 / 8:00 PM / FREE
Corwin Pavilion, UCSB

Sterling Professor Emeritus of English and Comparative Literature at Yale University, Geoffrey Hartman will discuss the multi-voiced archives which have been gathered to document the destruction of European Jewry and their importance from the perspective of a time in which comparisons are made between the Holocaust and other genocides, especially those that have occurred since the Nazi era. Among his many books are three watershed volumes on Holocaust Memory: Bitburg in Moral and Political Perspective, The Longest Shadow: In the Aftermath of the Holocaust, and Holocaust Remembrance: The Shapes of Memory.

Sponsored by the Herman P. and Sophia Taubman Foundation Endowed Symposia in Jewish Studies, and co-sponsored by UCSB Arts & Lectures, the Department of Religious Studies, Hillel, the Interdisciplinary Humanities Center and the Anti-Defamation League
