The Holocaust in Ukraine: History, Memory, and Education in a Changing World

Omer Bartov, the Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, will present the Albert M. Tapper Annual Lecture. Perspectives on Holocaust in Ukraine: Local History, First-Person History, and Fiction This lecture will explore what we can learn from the Holocaust in the multiethnic region of Galicia from a local study, what the findings of this research can tell us about the Holocaust more generally, and how a focus on first-person history can help us reconstruct the world that was irretrievably lost in war and genocide. Referring to Bartov’s two monographs, Anatomy of a Genocide and Tales from the Borderlands, the talk will conclude with ruminations related to Bartov’s novel, The Butterfly and the Axe, on how the lives erased by the violence of mass murder can be brought back to our consciousness through fiction.
