The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum announces a seminar on the Holocaust in Poland for professors who are now teaching or preparing to teach a 20th-century history course on Poland with the approval of their institution. The seminar is scheduled for January 10-15, 2000 and will be taught by Dr. Antony Polonsky, Albert Abramson Professor of Holocaust Studies at Brandeis University.
The seminar will comprise lectures and discussions and be offered in daily two-and-a-half hour sessions. Topics will include: Poland between the wars; the Polish question during World War II; Polish society, Polish-Jewish relations, and the Holocaust; the aftermath of the Holocaust on Polish lands; and the memory of the Holocaust. There will also be opportunities to use the Museum's significant library and archival holdings, as well as the Library of Congress and the National Archives.
