SUMMARY:Holocaust Memory and its Discontents: The Case...
DESCRIPTION:In this lecture\, Rothberg will trace the rise of what became
  known as the “German model” of addressing a nation’s own crimes. While 
 a few years ago it seemed obvious that countries like the United States 
 could “learn from the Germans” to confront their troubled pasts (in Susa
 n Neiman’s terms)\, today the situation seems more complicated. Focusing
  especially on the Federal Republic of Germany\, Rothberg will survey st
 ate-level engagements with National Socialism and the Holocaust as well 
 as grassroots efforts at commemoration that began in the 1980s. He will 
 show how the model of Vergangenheitsbewältigung (“coming to terms with” 
 or “mastering” the past) was consolidated after German unification and t
 hen started to fray in the twenty-first century. He will conclude by emp
 hasizing how migration\, colonialism\, and the October 7/Gaza moment int
 ersect with — and have come to unsettle — German Holocaust memory. This 
 event is generously sponsored by July Galper. How to Attend This event i

 chael Rothberg is the 1939 Society Samuel Goetz Chair in Holocaust Studi
 es and Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University
  of California\, Los Angeles. His research focuses on the social and cul
 tural implications of political violence and its afterlives\, and his wr
 itings have been translated into French\, German\, Hindi\, Hungarian\, I
 talian\, Japanese\, Polish\, Portuguese\, Russian\, Spanish\, Swedish\, 
 and Turkish. His books include “The Implicated Subject: Beyond Victims a
 nd Perpetrators” (2019)\, “Multidirectional Memory: Remembering the Holo
 caust in the Age of Decolonization” (2009)\, “The Holocaust: Theoretical
  Readings” (2003\; co-edited with Neil Levi)\, and “Traumatic Realism: T
 he Demands of Holocaust Representation” (2000). With Yasemin Yildiz\, he
  is completing “Memory Citizenship: Migrant Archives of Holocaust Rememb
 rance.” He has also written for public-facing venues such as Inside High
 er Ed\, Los Angeles Review of Books\, the Los Angeles Times\, and The Na
 tion\, as well as German-language publications such as Die Zeit\, Berlin
 er Zeitung\, and Geschichte der Gegenwart. The 2021 German translation o
 f “Multidirectional Memory” prompted a national debate in the mainstream
  press about the relationship between the Holocaust and colonialism. His
  forthcoming book\, “The Holocaust Analogy: On the Use and Misuse of His
 torical Comparison” (2027)\, grows out of that experience and considers 
 contentious public debates about the use of Holocaust comparisons. About
  the Series The Holocaust Living History Workshop (HLHW) series is an ed
 ucation and outreach program co-sponsored by the UC San Diego Library an
 d the Jewish Studies Program. It aims to preserve the memories of the vi
 ctims and survivors of the Holocaust by offering public events involving

 ah Foundation Institute’s Visual History Archive. Past HLHW workshops ar
