Join us for an engaging online roundtable exploring the visual languages of Holocaust literature. This discussion will examine how literary texts engage with visual elements—and how photography, film, art, and other visual representations of the Holocaust have influenced and been influenced by literature. The speakers will consider a diverse range of works, including graphic novels, to reflect on how visual media shapes our understanding of Holocaust memory and representation.

Speakers:

Daniel H. Magilow: Professor of German, University of Tennessee

Lynn Wolff: Associate Professor of German, Michigan State University

Brad Prager: Professor of German and Film Studies, University of Missouri

Chair:

McKenna Marko: Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Holocaust Literature, University of Leeds

This event forms part of the ongoing series featuring original research from the forthcoming Cambridge History of Holocaust Literature, presented by the project Rethinking Holocaust Literature: Contexts, Canons, and Circulations.
