Historical movies, novels, art, and comics shape how we remember the past. How do fictional representations relate to the truth historians have established about the past? Focusing on the Holocaust and Holocaust perpetrators, this conversation will examine the chasm between fiction and scholarship. Prominent Holocaust scholars will discuss whether we can learn from ever more pervasive representations in popular and high culture.

Speakers:

  • Christopher R. Browning, Frank Porter Graham Professor Emeritus, History Department, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
  • Erin McGlothlin, Vice Dean of Undergraduate Affairs, College of Arts and Sciences, and Professor of German and Jewish Studies, Washington University in St. Louis
  • Thomas Kühne, Strassler Colin Flug Professor of Holocaust History, and Director, Strassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Clark University
