This event features volume co-editors Erin McGlothlin and Avinoam Patt, who will address the book’s themes, and volume contributors Jonathan Druker, Anna Duensing, and Natalie Eppelsheimer, who will discuss their individual chapters.

Lessons and Legacies XV: The Holocaust: Global Perspectives, National Narratives, Local Contexts reflects multiple approaches to the necessary work of expanding the canon of research in Holocaust Studies, adopting varied disciplinary perspectives, and engaging with global perspectives as well as local studies.  The contributions in the volume manifest three broad categories: history, literature, and memory.  At the same time, however, as the interdisciplinary nature of these chapters indicate, these categories should not be regarded as mutually exclusive or discrete. On the contrary, they overlap and intersect in compelling ways, demonstrating the dynamic character of contemporary Holocaust studies, which views history, narrative representation, and commemoration as mutually informative.
