The Holocaust and the Contemporary World

28/10/2014
International Interdisciplinary Conference in Krakow, Poland
23rd-24th April 2015
Organizers: Professor Wojciech Owczarski – University of Gdańsk (Poland), Zofia Ziemann – Jagiellonian University (Poland), Amanda Chalupa – McGill University (Canada)
Co-organizer: InMind Support

Although Holocaust Studies is a thriving research area, boasting many important recent publications and projects, a truly broad, interdisciplinary perspective is still felt to be lacking. Hence, this conference is meant as an opportunity to look together at the theme of the Shoah in as diverse and wide a context as possible.
