Photography and the Holocaust
Thurs., January 27 * 10 PM ET / 7 PM PT on Clubhouse
This week in History Club, we’ll mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day with a Clubhouse event about Holocaust photographs and imagery.
Photography has had a profound effect on documentation of the Holocaust and on our understandings of the Shoah (the Hebrew word for the Holocaust).
What roles have photographs played in the formation of Holocaust public memory? How does the proliferation of visual media (screens, mobile devices, etc.) affect how we learn about the Holocaust and how we conduct Holocaust education?
Our guest is Michael Glickman, founder of JMuse and former CEO of the Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
Join us on Clubhouse Thursday night at 10pm ET. We’ll do a 1-on-1 conversation, followed by audience Q&A. (Add to calendar.)
Special thanks to Flipboard for sponsoring this conversation. History Club and Flipboard are teaming up for a series of events and online content. More details in this weekend’s newsletter.

The SD trooper was later identified using this photograph, tried for war crimes in 1969, and executed.
