Eradication Gaza: How to Remember and Forget Genocide
Join MAPA on Monday, February 24th from 6PM – 7:30PM (ET) for a discussion with genocide historian and former IDF soldier, Prof. Omer Bartov. As we’ve been witnessing a genocide in Gaza for the past 15 months, it’s timely to reflect on the politics of the use of the word “genocide”, and the use and misuse of the memory of the Holocaust in WW2.
Prof. Bartov will also expand our thinking about the development of Zionism over time: as a settler colonization effort, as a mechanism for helping Jewish refugees and as an ideological national movement.
Omer Bartov is an Israeli-American historian. He is the Samuel Pisar Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, where he has taught since 2000. Bartov is a historian of the Holocaust and is considered a leading authority on genocide.
