Holocaust Memory and the Tests of Time: Sustainable Remembering of a Relentless Past (Video)

The University of Scranton posted the video of last week's lecture by Robert Kraft on Holocaust Memory and the Tests of Time: Sustainable Remembering of a Relentless Past. I helped sponsor the talk through the Education for Justice program that I oversee.

It was a terrific talk and well attended by students. Dr. Kraft is a cognitive psychologist and focused his talk on how trauma, namely suffering through and surviving the Holocaust, affects memory. While Kraft spoke about the holocaust, his insights are generalizeable, to a certain extent, to other traumatic episodes.
