How To Remember

As the events of the Holocaust recede in time, a series of urgent educational and moral issues present themselves for Holocaust education in the 21st century. How do we make the transition from seeing the Holocaust as an event in living memory, to a historical event without any living witnesses? What is the appropriate role of film, literature and the arts in Holocaust education when no living witnesses are left to confirm or correct the details of their experiences?

In commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day, the Museum hosted a panel discussion with oral historians Susan Rothenberg and Anne Grenn Saldinger, and Holocaust survivor Perry Scheinok, on the topic of "The Holocaust and Storytelling in the 21st century."

This event was co-presented with the Holocaust Center of Northern California (http://www.hcnc.org), and StoryCorps (http://www.storycorps.org).
