Eighty years ago, a group of senior Nazi officials met outside of Berlin to discuss the implementation of the "Final Solution of the Jewish Question" - the euphemistic name given to the planned systematic annihilation of the Jews across Europe. This year's annual Spring Lecture Series will discuss the history, representation, and memorialization of this important moment in the history of the Holocaust. (All lectures are being presented in person on the UT Dallas campus.)

Join us for the third and final talk of our annual Spring Lecture Series. Dr. Pedro Gonzalez Corona will present "'Germans Must Not Bury Their History: The Wannsee Conference in the Latin American Imaginary." This lecture will explore the various channels of representation of the Wannsee Conference in Latin America and the public responses to it.

A map to the lecture venue can be found here.

New Episode: "Ukraine and Russia's War of Aggression"

We are all looking for ways to make sense of the news about the war in Ukraine. In this episode, Dr. Nils Roemer and Dr. Emily-Rose Baker have a conversation with Dr. Yuliya Komska—a cultural historian and native Ukrainian who currently teaches at Dartmouth. Dr. Komska shared with us the need to protect and rescue cultural heritage as Russian bombs threaten major sites and people flee the conflict. She also talks about the challenges facing Ukrainians who don't want to leave their communities as Russian aggression continues.
