Pilecki Institute, 92 Greenwich St, New York, NY 10006

As part of the programme accompanying the exhibition Between Life and Death. Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust, the European Network Remembrance and Solidarity (ENRS) and the Pilecki Institute in New York invite you to a seminar exploring the changing landscape of Holocaust remembrance and education on both sides of the Atlantic.

How does Holocaust remembrance change across generations and societies? How do historical experience, political and social contexts, public debate, and changing educational priorities shape the ways in which the Holocaust is taught and remembered?

The seminar, Memory in Transition: A Transatlantic Perspective on Holocaust Education, will bring together scholars and educators from Europe, Israel, and the United States for an international exchange of perspectives and experiences. The discussion will consider different approaches to Holocaust education and the challenges faced by educators working in diverse national and cultural contexts.

The speakers will include Prof. Daniel Blatman (Israel), Prof. Rune Christiansen (Denmark), Prof. Stephan Lehnstaedt (Germany), Dr. Richard Quinlan (USA), and Prof. Piotr Trojański (Poland). Together, they will reflect on Holocaust remembrance as a dynamic and evolving process, examining how approaches to education are shaped by both the legacy of the past and the realities of the present.

The seminar accompanies the New York presentation of Between Life and Death. Stories of Rescue during the Holocaust, a travelling exhibition prepared by ENRS in cooperation with the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews and the Silent Heroes Memorial Centre. The exhibition brings together stories of rescuers and survivors from fifteen European countries and explores the complex choices and circumstances surrounding acts of rescue during the Holocaust.

Admission: free and open to the public.
