How do societies remember atrocity? What forms should public memorials take, and how do they evolve over time? In this visually rich lecture, James Young, Founding Director of the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at the University of Massachusetts, will explore the origins and transformations of Holocaust and atrocity memorialization in both Europe and the United States. Hosted at NSS Beth El, this event is part of the CityTalk From the Bean to the Brasserie series, sponsored by Theater Wit, Northwestern’s Crown Center for Jewish and Israel Studies, and Northlight Theatre. Open to the community, free of charge.
