Dr. Sabine Hildebrandt is a
distinguished professor at Harvard Medical School, specializing in
the history of anatomy. Her research examines the biographies of
medical professionals who worked during the Nazi era, and her
scholarship sheds new light and restores the histories of victims who
were subjected to unethical medical experiments, both before and
after their deaths.
Dr. Hildebrandt also examines the implications
of this history for the present day, including how to approach the
ethically sensitive topic of working with human remains in historical
collections at universities, museums, and other institutions.

Annual Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar Lecture
The
Holocaust: An Unfinished History
Monday, April 8, 2024
11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 6 PM GMT
In-Person & Online (RSVP)
Dr.
Dan Stone, Professor of Modern History and Director of the
Holocaust Research Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London,
discusses prevalent misconceptions about the history of the
Holocaust, such as the assumption that the event concerns only
Germans and Jews. Shedding light on the role of non-German
actors and the vast scale of state-led and individual collaboration
across the continent, Stone deepens our understanding and challenges
the notion that the Holocaust ended in 1945.
The Sara and Asa Shapiro Annual
Holocaust Testimony Scholar and Lecture Fund enables one
senior scholar to spend time in residence at the USC Dornsife Center
for Advanced Genocide Research and the USC Shoah Foundation with full
access to the Visual History Archive. Professor Stone is the eighth
Shapiro Scholar in Residence.

Soviet
Antisemitism
Thursday, April 11, 2024
11 AM PT / 2 PM ET / 6 PM GMT
Online (RSVP for
link)
We are witnessing a rise of anti-Israel rhetoric in
the United States today, particularly among the progressive left, but
these ideas, slogans, and tropes are far from modern. To investigate
their origins, scholar Izabella Tabarovsky suggests we look to Soviet
propaganda created nearly 50 years ago.
Join us on April 11 as Tabarovsky presents her research on how Soviet
anti-Zionist disinformation campaigns and propaganda are being
reproduced by many of today's young American progressives.
Understanding this history can help us rethink strategies to counter
contemporary antisemitism and anti-Zionism.
