Erased: Vanishing Traces of Jewish Galicia in Present-Day Ukraine
A Talk with Slides by Omer Bartov
Monday, May 5, 7:30 pm
BJE Jewish Community Library
1835 Ellis Street,San Francisco
Omer Bartov, a leading Holocaust scholar, journeys to the Western Ukrainian regions of the former Eastern Galicia to understand how centuries-old conflicts in the region contributed to the mass killings of the Holocaust and the complete erasure of Jews from public memory. Visiting twenty Ukrainian towns, he recreates the histories of the vibrant Jewish and Polish communities that once lived there and describes what remains today.
Omer Bartov is the John P. Birkelund Distinguished Professor of European History at Brown University. His books include Murder in our Midst: The Holocaust, Industrial Killing, and Representation and Hitler's Army: Soldiers, Nazis, and War in the Third Reich.
Co-sponsored by the Bureau of Jewish Education Jewish Community Library and the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish Genealogical Society
