The Concordia University Libraries invite you to attend “Memory and Commemoration: The Azrieli Holocaust Collection at Thirty,” a one day symposium in Montreal, Quebec, on Tuesday, March 10, 2015, marking the thirtieth anniversary of the creation of what is now one of the largest collections in North America of research materials on the Holocaust. The Collection was established in 1984 by Montreal businessman and philanthropist David Azrieli, CM, CQ (1922-2014), whose parents, brother, and sister died in the Holocaust. More information on the Collection is available here: http://bit.ly/1qKhrPm. The symposium begins at 11:00 a.m. in the D.B. Clarke Theatre (1455 de Maisonneuve Blvd West) with a keynote by Christopher Browning, the Frank Porter Graham Professor Emeritus of History at UNC-Chapel Hill and a distinguished scholar of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. After a response and question-and-answer period, we will break for lunch (on our own) and return at 2:00 p.m. for a panel of emerging and established Holocaust scholars from Concordia, Texas A&M, Michigan, and Graz, followed by a second keynote at 4:40 p.m. by Debórah Dwork, the Rose Professor of Holocaust History at Clark University.
