Inheritance Trouble: 

Migrant Archives of Holocaust Remembrance

Annual Holocaust Lecture with Professor Michael Rothberg

Thursday, January 25, 2018 | 7:00PM - 8:30PM

Old Main Theater | CU Boulder campus

How should we think about the transmission of Holocaust memory more than seventy years after the defeat of Nazi Germany? What lessons do the events of the Shoah bear for a moment in which far-right political movements are once again on the rise? 

In order to address such questions, Professor Michael Rothberg considers immigrants' engagement with the Holocaust in contemporary Germany. The works of art, literature, and performance that he will discuss model alternative ways of remembering the Nazi genocide in the twenty-first century and suggest possibilities for an ethically and politically engaged memory work.
