Liberation and Beyond: Postwar journeys of the Sh’erit ha-Pletah
For those who survived the Holocaust, liberation was a complicated event. It marked the end of their physical imprisonment, but the impact of the Holocaust on their lives was far from over. This five-week course will chart the journey of this surviving remnant as they began to rebuild their lives and families. Topics include: end of the war, liberation, displaced persons camps and leaving Europe.
Join us for the inaugural Ruthie Research Scholar Lecture featuring Beatrice Levine, art history graduate student at the University of Kansas.
This presentation explores what steps the art world is taking to facilitate restitution and search for masterworks still missing today, examines the history of Nazi looting, and questions where the art world is excelling and failing in its efforts to return looted works to their rightful owners today.
Registration is required but free. Seats can be reserved by emailing rsvp@mchekc.org with the number attending.
