Echoes of Survival: A Conversation on Resi Weglein’s memoir

Join us for a compelling conversation with renowned scholar Dr. Albrecht Classen as he discusses his recent work translating the memoir of Resi Weglein, a Holocaust survivor whose story offers a deeply personal account of survival and resilience. Dr. Classen will explore the challenges and significance of bringing Weglein’s narrative to English-speaking audiences, highlighting the memoir’s intimate portrayal of life during one of history's darkest periods.

The discussion will also examine the broader historical context of antisemitism that led to the Holocaust, reflecting on how these past atrocities continue to shape our world today. This event will be moderated by the former Director of the Weglyn Endowed Chair, offering insights into the ongoing relevance of survivor testimonies in the fight against hatred and injustice.

Don’t miss this important dialogue on memory, history, and the power of storytelling.

Join us afterwards for a short reception for Dr. Danico to recognize her contributions and leadership as the former Director of the Weglyn Endowed Chair!
