We will be holding a one–day cultural event on Sunday 11th March 2012‚ consisting of a series of short talks led by experts from within Jewish Studies and History at the University of Southampton. This thought provoking and inspiring conference will provide you with the opportunity to learn and engage in discussion about the Holocaust from academics of international distinction.
The day will consist of a series of talks by experts from the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/Non-Jewish Relations which includes academics from History, English and Modern Languages. The talks will cover a variety of responses to the Holocaust as portrayed on television, in literature and through music. The event will present the opportunity to learn about the impact of the Holocaust and examine responses within Jewish and non-Jewish circles. There will be plenty of opportunities to talk with members of the Parkes Institute, and asking questions after each talk is very much welcomed.
