Please join us as Dr. Mark Celinscak presents the Michael and Elaine Jaffe Lecture in conjunction with the 56th Annual Scholars' Conference.

The field of Holocaust Studies is expanding and changing rapidly as the next generation of scholars adopt innovative methodologies, apply new technologies, and bring interdisciplinary approaches to examine neglected topics as well as to revisit debates once thought settled. Scholars are approaching the Holocaust, not only from the traditional fields of history, literature, religion and art, but also in forensic science, archaeology, anthropology, geography, criminology, medicine, musicology, museum studies and many others. This talk will point to some important directions in Holocaust Studies, while focusing primarily on how scholars are approaching the Holocaust from a global perspective.

Dr. Mark Celinscak is the Louis and Frances Blumkin Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies and the Executive Director of the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He is the author of the award-winning books, Kingdom of Night: Witnesses to the Holocaust and Distance from the Belsen Heap: Allied Forces and the Liberation of a Nazi Concentration Camp. He is also the co-editor of the recent volume, Global Approaches to the Holocaust: Memory, History, and Representation. He currently serves as co-chair of the Consortium of Higher Education Centers for Holocaust, Genocide, and Human Rights Studies.
