THURSDAY, MARCH 13
Samuel Moyn, “How Did the Holocaust and Human Rights Intersect (and Was It a Good Thing)?”
McBride Gathering Space, Numen Lumen Pavilion, 7:30 p.m.
Moyn takes up what the relationship was and is between the Holocaust and its memory, on the one hand, and the rise of human rights norms and movements on the other. His presentation offers a survey of the post-World War II era, asking why Holocaust consciousness and human rights activism came so late. The talk is drawn from his new book, “Human Rights and the Use of History.”
