Come learn about new generations of Holocaust memory and their significance for democracy and the public sphere in Argentina.
About this Event

Argentina—home to the largest Jewish community in Latin America—is a nation with multiple histories of violence and loss, includimg the 1976-1983 dictatorship and the 1994 bombing of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Aid Society, which still remains in a state of impunity over thirty years later. In recent years, new challenges have also resituated the significance of Holocaust memory for imagining and reimagining Jewish Argentine futures. Drawing on long-term ethnographic research, Dr. Natasha Zaretsky, author of Acts of Repair: Justice, Truth, and the Politics of Memory in Argentina (Rutgers University Press, 2021), explores new generations of Holocaust memory and their significance for democracy and the public sphere.
