Ina Levine Annual Lecture By Thanksgiving We Were Americans: German Jewish Refugees Remember the Holocaust
How did German Jewish refugees recall their past? Centered on those who fled their homes before the mass deportations began and resettled in the United States before the end of the war, Dr. Judith Gerson considers how people collectively remember their lives in the aftermath of the Holocaust. Please join us for this lecture by the 2018 Ina Levine invitational scholar on March 15 at 7 p.m. at the Museum.

Relying on memoirs, testimonies, diaries, and letters as evidence, and based on a recently completed book manuscript by the same title, Dr. Gerson will analyze the myriad of complex ways these refugees grappled with the enduring legacies of a catastrophic past even as many recognized their good fortune.
