Posted on March 4, 2022

Join us on Tuesday, March 29, 7:00 PM EST via Zoom for an annual Henry Samuel Levinson Lecture

Registration is required: https://henrylevinsonlecture2022.eventbrite.com.

In 1942, the Jews of Tuchyn, Ukraine, fought back when the Nazis came to liquidate the ghetto. Professor Anne Parsons will speak about researching this history and the ways that the Holocaust has been remembered in Ukraine.

Parsons collaborated with artist Adam Carlin and a team at UNC Greensboro to co-curate the exhibition “Roots of Resistance: The Tuchyn Story” with the N.C. Council on the Holocaust. Parsons and Carlin will discuss the process of creating this exhibition for audiences in the U.S. and Ukraine and the impact of the current conflict on it.
