Refugees and Exiles in Postwar Europe: US Holocaust Memorial Museum Panel Discussion

United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Washington, DC

SUMMER RESEARCH WORKSHOP PANEL DISCUSSION
FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 2–4 P.M.
Landscapes of the Uprooted: Refugees and Exiles in Postwar Europe
Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
The Holocaust and World War II displaced or made homeless more than 30
million Europeans from all parts of the continent. However, the many
distinct categories of refugees in postwar Europe have predominantly been
studied in isolation from one another. This workshop brings together an
international team of specialists who will discuss how to integrate these
important and fascinating stories in a way that illuminates the profound
human cost of the war and its aftermath.

Reservations are requested. RSVP online at ushmm.org/events/refugeeworkshop.

This program is supported by the Helena Rubinstein Foundation.
