Remembering the Holocaust: 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz | Guest Talk
This year’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day (Jan. 27) marks the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp liberation. Organized by faculty and staff, the talk commemorates Holocaust victims and its impact on survivors.
Charlotte Schallié (PhD), professor in the Department of German and Slavic Studies at the University of Victoria, will give a public talk on her SSHRC-funded research, Narrative Art and Visual Storytelling in Holocaust and Human Rights Education. Schallié's teaching and research interests include memory studies, visual culture studies & graphic narratives, teaching and learning about the Holocaust, genocide and human rights education, community-engaged participatory research, care ethics, and arts-based action research. Schallié edited the multi-award winning But I Live: Three Stories of Child Survivors of the Holocaust.
This talk is open to the ECU community: students, faculty, and staff.
