SUMMARY:YIVO Presents: The Future of Holocaust Memory: Poland and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust distortion in Poland involves reshaping or minimizing facts about the Holocaust\, often emphasizing Polish victimhood while obscuring instances of local collaboration\, participation\, or indifference. It appears in political rhetoric\, memory laws\, public commemorations\, and attacks on critical scholarship. YIVO’s Poland vs. Holocaust History series examines these dynamics and situates the Polish case within a broader European context. \nThis discussion panel will reflect on the future of Holocaust memory in Poland and in a broader international context. Bringing together Jan T. Gross\, Elżbieta Janicka\, and Jan Grabowski\, the conversation will address the evolving challenges facing Holocaust remembrance amid political polarization\, historical revisionism\, and generational change. The panelists will consider the roles of scholarship\, education\, public debate\, and cultural institutions in sustaining honest engagement with the past. The discussion will also explore how national and transnational perspectives can coexist\, and what is at stake for historical truth\, democratic values\, and moral responsibility in shaping the future of Holocaust memory. \nThis online event will take place via Zoom at 1:00pm ET. \nClick here for More Info / Registration

SUMMARY:YIVO Presents: Holocaust Distortion in Poland\, A Comparative European Perspective
DESCRIPTION:Holocaust distortion in Poland involves reshaping or minimizing facts about the Holocaust\, often emphasizing Polish victimhood while obscuring instances of local collaboration\, participation\, or indifference. It appears in political rhetoric\, memory laws\, public commemorations\, and attacks on critical scholarship. YIVO’s Poland vs. Holocaust History series examines these dynamics and situates the Polish case within a broader European context. \nThis lecture by Jan Grabowski will examine the phenomenon of Holocaust distortion in Poland within a broader comparative European framework. It explores how historical narratives about the Holocaust are reshaped\, minimized\, or selectively reinterpreted in public discourse\, politics\, education\, and law. Particular attention will be paid to the interaction between state-sponsored memory policies\, nationalist narratives\, and scholarly research\, as well as to the pressures faced by historians and educators. By comparing developments in Poland with those in other European countries—including Hungary\, Lithuania\, Germany\, and Russia—the lecture highlights both shared patterns and national specificities in confronting difficult pasts. The discussion addresses legal instruments\, public controversies\, commemorative practices\, and the role of civil society in shaping Holocaust memory. Ultimately\, the lecture asks how and why Holocaust distortion emerges\, what distinguishes distortion from legitimate historical debate\, and what the consequences are for democratic culture\, academic freedom\, and Europe’s collective understanding of the Holocaust. \nThis online event will take place via Zoom at 1:00pm ET. \nClick here for More Info / Registration
