Remembering the Holocaust: 80 years after the liberation of Auschwitz | Roundtable
This year’s International Holocaust Remembrance Day marks the 80th anniversary of the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp liberation. This roundtable, organized by faculty and staff, commemorates the Holocaust victims and its impact on survivors.
The roundtable, Unrepresentable: Artists after Auschwitz, brings together three ECU faculty and staff members to reflect on artwork made by Holocaust survivors or their descendants that has personal resonance and artistic significance.
Presenters will reflect on artwork that contends with the Shoah (Holocaust) as an unspeakable or unrepresentable event with intergenerational impact and a duty of care: the artwork of Isaac Celnikier, the films of Chantal Akerman, the work of Philippe Mora and Marsha Lederman.
Charlotte Schallié will moderate the roundtable.
This event is open to the ECU community: students, faculty, and staff.
