Abstract
More than 200 scholars from around the world will gather at Claremont McKenna College Nov. 2-5 to discuss, debate, and delve into the history and contemporary implications of the Holocaust during the ninth biennial Lessons and Legacies Conference on the Holocaust. Jointly sponsored by the Holocaust Education Foundation, Skokie, Ill., and Claremont McKenna's Center for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights, the conference will focus on the theme of Memory, History, and Responsibility: Reassessments of the Holocaust, Implications for the Future. Lessons and Legacies, among the largest such gatherings in the world, brings together scholars on the cutting edge of research on the Holocaust from diverse fields including history, literature, philosophy, religious studies, and political science. Sessions will include presentations of papers, workshops to support teaching, and roundtable discussions.
