About this event

Keene State College is honored to host Prof. Marion Kaplan to deliver the keynote lecture for the inaugural New England Conference on Holocaust and Genocide Studies. In her lecture, entitled "Beyond Broken Glass: A Gendered Perspective on the November Pogrom," Kaplan will offer an overview of Nazi policy toward Jews in the years leading up to the November Pogrom (commonly known as Kristallnacht), approached from a social history perspective that focuses on events at the grassroots level. Her talk also adopts a gendered lens, exploring how men and women experienced the antisemitic onslaught in both similar and different ways. The lecture will examine the course of the pogrom itself, highlighting how violence and persecution were shaped by gender, and will consider the courage shown by women who sought to secure the release of their sons, husbands, and fathers from concentration camps.
