Hannah Pollin-Galay will discuss how we often associate the Holocaust with faceless, nameless violence. But, yet, there are Jewish Holocaust witnesses who attribute their suffering to the wicked acts of social intimates. Focusing on narratives of Lithuanian Jews, this lecture compares different cultural modes of remembering Holocaust aggression.
