Dr. Young’s topic is especially timely as we welcome DU's new Holocaust Memorial Social Action Site to Denver and as we begin to think about what a memorial is, and what exactly we mean by "memorializing." In an effort to think together as a community about these important themes, the lecture will be followed by a panel (co-sponsored by CJS and Iliff School of Theology) on the theme of 'Memory, Memorials and Memorialization' to include Dr. Young, Dr. Edward P. Antonio, Julian Bonder, Dr. Bonnie Clark, Dr. Anne DePrince, Dr. Lydia Gil Keff, Dr. Janet Rumfelt, Dr. David Shneer, and facilitated by Dr. Sarah Pessin, Director of the Center for Judaic Studies.
