SYMPOSIUM
New Research and Resources on Children and the Holocaust
FEBRUARY 26–27, 2013
Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Ten years after the first conference on the topic convened by the Center
for
Advanced Holocaust Studies, this symposium explores the evolution of the
study of
children and the Holocaust. These presentations draw upon new Museum
resources to
interrogate familiar subjects, such as hiding and rescue, as well as probe
new
areas of research, such as postwar identity, history and memory, and the
challenges and opportunities presented by child survivor testimony itself.

Susan Rubin Suleiman, C. Douglas Dillon Professor of the Civilization of
France
and Professor of Comparative Literature, Harvard University, will deliver the
keynote address, "Orphans of the Shoah and Jewish Identity in Postwar
France."

This symposium is made possible through the generosity of the Gilbert
and Eleanor
Kraus Fund for the Study of the Fate and Rescue of Children.

A living memorial to the Holocaust, the United States Holocaust Memorial
Museum
inspires citizens and leaders worldwide to confront hatred, prevent
genocide, and
promote human dignity. Federal support guarantees the Museum's permanent
place on
the National Mall, and its far-reaching educational programs and global
impact are
made possible by generous donors.
