Landscapes of the Holocaust: Buried History in Eastern Europe
The persecution and murder of Jews and non-Jewish “enemies of the state” was an open secret during the Holocaust, but the Nazis wanted to ensure no evidence of their mass murder remained. They destroyed their murder centers and attempted to burn and bury any proof linking them to their actions. However, the physical landscapes continue to act as witnesses to Nazi crimes. What can we learn about the scale of persecution and victims’ experiences by mapping these places? How can the objects buried there further complicate the known history? Join us as two Holocaust scholars interpret the Holocaust’s killing fields.
