  • A Review of the Annual Scholars Conferences by Franklin H. Littell, 12/1/01
    A Review of the Annual Scholars Conferences by Franklin H. Littell, 12/1/01 [Several colleagues have asked me for the story of what has been known for years as "the Annual Scholars' Conference on the Holocaust and the Churches." What follows is based on my records and generally identifies repeaters only on their first appearance. (Some in the core group present or preside every year.) When we started, and for two decades, the ASC was "the only game in town;" it was held during the spring semester. During 2000, however, there were more than 30 Holocaust conferences issuing calls for papers in the USA alone. Unlike our conference of academics and churchmen, some were very well financed and almost all were centered in the Holocaust as a purely Jewish event. The fundamental error in this monologue lies not in emphasizing the uniqueness of the SHOAH, which they also frequently fail to do, but in ignoring the implications of the Holocaust for contemporary Christianity.] The beginnings of my public work on the Holocaust and the Kirchenkampf are found in the period when I was a Religious Affairs officer in the American occupation of Germany after World War II. I lectured widely on these topics, as also on the problem of antisemitism, and wrote many occasional items for journals and newspapers in Germany and the United States. Three published scholarly papers are worth noting, for they were important in enlisting colleagues and locating future participants in what became the series of Annual Scholars' Conferences*. The idea of an American initiative in the study of the Church Struggle with Nazism came to me in August of 1959.
