Contemporary Forms of Cultural Resistance and "The Terezín Paradigm"

As part of the inaugural Rafael Schächter Summer Institute for Holocaust Educators, The Defiant Requiem Foundation is delighted to announce this free online lecture, open to the public.

Foundation Board Member and Board President of The Auschwitz Institute, Owen Pell, will moderate a discussion with Mike Thomson, BBC reporter and author of Syria’s Secret Library, and Kerry Whigham, Assistant Professor of Genocide and Mass Atrocity Prevention at Binghamton University. The panel will discuss recent spontaneous acts of cultural resistance and artistic responses to mass atrocity, taking into consideration how intellectual, creative, and artistic acts of resistance serve as protest and sustenance for the human spirit.
