Founded in 1970 by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke, the ASC provides an invaluable forum for scholars to discuss and advance Holocaust research, ensuring the valuable lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant for today’s world.
Please join us on March 7th as we continue the important legacy established by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke more than fifty years ago. Rather than a traditional multi-day conference, this year’s ASC will feature three distinguished speakers that will address the historical significance.
11am CST – Ackerman Center Distinguished Lecture: Dr. Yehuda Bauer
Professor Emeritus of History and Holocaust Studies at the Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary Jewry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Academic Advisor to Yad Vashem
2pm CST – Michael and Elaine Jaffe Lecture: Dr. Mehnaz Afridi
Director/HGI, Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center, Manhattan College
5pm CST – Mitchell L. and Miriam Lewis Barnett Lecture: Pieter Kohnstam
Holocaust survivor and member of the Board of Directors for The Anne Frank Center for Mutual Respect
All lectures are free of charge, but pre-registration is requested (link to be posted soon).
