Forthcoming Center Events
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the 2020 Annual Martin and Doris Rosen Summer Symposium on Children During the Holocaust has been postponed until 2021.
The Center is monitoring the unfolding pandemic and will adjust the form and location of these programs accordingly (on-campus or on-line/ZOOM).
July 27. Holocaust child survivor and educator Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff gives testimony in a ZOOM program about her escape from Nazi-controlled Europe.
October 6. Lecture by Prof. emeritus Hank Greenspan (University of Michigan). Greenspan spent some 45 years interviewing Holocaust survivors. An acclaimed oral historian, psychologist and playwright, Greenspan will reflect on his life’s work and ponder the future of Holocaust testimonies at a time when the last remaining survivors will soon leave us.
October 9. Reception and Exhibition by German and American Artists on the topic of Heimat (homeland). The Center cooperates with the Transatlantic Exhibition of Art in the Southeast (TEASE) and the North Carolina Zeitgeist Foundation in bringing the exhibit to Boone. Artists such as Shirin Goldstein and Paetrick Schmidt display work on this challenging topic appropriated and misused by so many in the course of German and US history.
October 29. Lecture by Dr. Omer Bartov, John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of European History (Brown University). The Israeli-born, British-trained and US-based world-renowned Holocaust scholar will reflect on his path-breaking work on the unfolding of the Holocaust in the Galician town of Buczacz.
November. Lecture by Dr. Atina Grossmann, Professor of History at the Cooper Union, New York City. The renowned scholar and member of the second generation will talk about her illuminating project on German Jewish refugees who managed to escape Nazi Germany via Persia and the Far East.
