Lecturer: Dr. Dan Leshem, Director, Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives.
Co-sponsored by the Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives and the Rosenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies. In this lecture, Dr. Leshem will discuss his research and experience collecting genocide survivor testimonies both at the USC Shoah Foundation and at the Kupferberg Holocaust Resource Center and Archives. He will then discuss recent donations of artifacts to the KHRCA and how they can be used to reconstruct the life histories of victims and survivors who never gave an oral history nor wrote their own testimony. This will be the first lecture in a new partnership between the KHRCA and the Rosenthal Institute Holocaust Studies founded by Hungarian Holocaust survivor and scholar Dr. Randolph Braham, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the City College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. www.qcc.cuny.edu/khrca
