Poster for HEFNU Annual Winter Lecture featuring Ed Westermann. This presentation explores how alcohol consumption served as a literal and metaphorical lubricant in the Holocaust. It highlights the intersections of masculinity, drinking ritual, violence, and mass murder to expose the role of alcohol and celebratory ritual in the Nazi genocide of European Jews. Its surprising and disturbing findings offer a new perspective on the mindset, motivation, and mentality of killers as they prepared for, participated in, and celebrated mass murder.

HEFNU’s Virtual Speakers Bureau features the work of researchers who study the Holocaust utilizing a variety of methods. In this highlight event, we bring together several scholars who utilize gender as a tool of analysis.

These distinguished Holocaust scholars will present an overview of their areas of expertise and examples of how they might present their research, methods, and findings to your students or community. There will be time for questions following their presentations.

This event is open to educators interested in utilizing our Virtual Speakers Bureau in their classrooms and scholars interested in gender as a tool of analysis in Holocaust Studies.
