Founded in 1970 by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke, the Annual Scholars' Conference provides an invaluable forum for scholars to discuss and advance Holocaust research, ensuring the valuable lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant for today’s world.

Please join us on March 7th as we continue the important legacy established by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke more than fifty years ago. Rather than a traditional multi-day conference, this year’s ASC will feature three distinguished speakers that will address the past, present, and future of Holocaust studies.

Professor Emeritus of History and Holocaust Studies at the Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Academic Advisor to Yad Vashem

Director/HGI, Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center, Manhattan College

5pm CST – Mitchell L. and Miriam Lewis Barnett Lecture: Pieter Kohnstam

All lectures are free of charge, but pre-registration is requested (links to be posted on the ASC webpage soon).

The Ackerman Center began commemorating Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Yom HaShoah, in 2016 by having students, staff, faculty, and members of the community recite poems in various languages. This year's event will again be held virtually. Please check the event's webpage for highlights from previous years and updates about the details for this year as they develop.

If interested in participating by reading a poem or prose excerpt in any language, please contact cynthia.rogers@utdallas.edu.
