SUMMARY:POSTPONED Talking Memory Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Ravine of Memory: Babyn Yar Between the Holocaust and the Great Patriotic War\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDue to unforeseen circumstances\, the Talking Memory book launch event\, \n\n\n\nThe Ravine of Memory: Babyn Yar Between the Holocaust and the Great Patriotic War\, \n\n\n\nscheduled for March 15th\, has been postponed. \n\n\n\nA new date will be announced\, and invitations will be resent accordingly. \n\n\n\nIn the meantime\, the Ghetto Fighters’ House extends its heartfelt thanks for your continued support of the Talking Memory programmes. \n\n\n\nThe Ghetto Fighters’ House invites you to a special Talking Memory program marking the launch of The Ravine of Memory: Babyn Yar Between the Holocaust and the Great Patriotic War. \n\n\n\nIn this conversation\, Dr. Shay A. Pilnik examines how Babyn Yar—where more than 100\,000 people\, the vast majority Jews\, were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators—has been remembered\, reshaped\, and at times silenced in Soviet literature and culture. Drawing on Russian and Yiddish sources\, he revisits both well-known and lesser-known texts to show how Babyn Yar became a contested symbolic site\, revealing the tensions between official narratives\, suppressed Jewish memory\, and acts of cultural resistance. \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nDr. Shay A. PilnikDirector\, Emil A. and Jenny Fish Center for Holocaust and Genocide StudiesYeshiva University \n\n\n\nDr. Pilnik will discuss the central arguments of his book\, focusing on memory\, forgetting\, and representation in Soviet responses to Babyn Yar\, and the ways literature became a space for mourning\, testimony\, and moral reckoning. \n\n\n\nOpening Remarks:Dr. Arkadi ZeltserDirector\, Center for Research on the Holocaust in the Soviet UnionInternational Institute for Holocaust Research\, Yad Vashem \n\n\n\nDr. Zeltser will reflect on the historiography of Babyn Yar and its place within Soviet Holocaust history\, addressing how politics\, ideology\, and archival silences have shaped public understanding of the site. \n\n\n\nGuest Speaker:Dr. Marta HavryshkoHistorian and Dr. Thomas Zand Visiting Assistant Professor in Holocaust Pedagogy and Antisemitism StudiesStrassler Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies\, Clark University \n\n\n\nDr. Havryshko will speak about her research on Babyn Yar\, the challenges of commemorating mass violence in contemporary Ukraine\, and the ethical and political complexities involved in researching and memorialising the site today. \n\n\n\nThis programme is in partnership with the Emil A. and Jenny Fish Centre for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Yeshiva University\, The Zekelman Holocaust Centre\, Classrooms Without Borders\, the Rabin Chair Forum at George Washington University\, and the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre.
