A conversation with David Slucki on his book Sing This at My Funeral: A Memoir of Fathers and Sons (Wayne State University Press, 2019). 
 

With: David Slucki, Loti Smorgon Associate Professor in Contemporary Jewish Life and Culture at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, and Alon Confino, Pen Tishkach Chair of Holocaust Studies, Professor of History and Jewish Studies at UMass Amherst, and the Director of the IHGMS at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

The Avraham Harman Research Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies at UMass Amherst are launching a new, transnational program called “Encounters”: a series of meetings on new books in the research fields of the Holocaust, genocide, and mass violence. “Encounters” offers a unique opportunity for broad audience, scholars and laypeople, interested in these topics across national borders, to be acquainted with the field’s most recent works.

Each year the Institute for Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies (IHGMS) at UMass Amherst brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the Five Colleges to explore a broad topic. The 2020-2021 Five College Working Group explores the topic of “Race and Representations”. Project organizers are Stephen Clingman, Distinguished Professor in the Department of English, and Whitney Battle-Baptiste, Professor in the Department of Anthropology, both at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
