11th Annual Holocaust Memorial Lecture
Sep 22nd, 2008 by Tom White
Welcome! The work of historians such as Christopher Browning bring to light the importance of disciplined, critical historical analysis of the Shoah (Holocaust) and illustrates what is at stake. In confronting the denier it becomes important to discredit their agenda and also bring light to the particualr tactic being employed. As we educate and bring the denier into the light of reason we disempower the lie and illuminate the motive. Our mission is to seek and wrestle with the truth in order to honor the memory of those who were victimized and also empower us as human beings to remain ever watchful for ourselves, our children, our communities, and especially the “other” in our lives. I look forward to your responses and ongoing reactions to Christopher Browning’s lecture as we continue the discussion on this blog.
