“The Dimensions of Holocaust Videotestimony”
Noted literary and cultural critic Geoffrey Hartman and psychiatrist Dori Laub will discuss their pioneering work with the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonials, housed at Sterling Memorial Library at Yale University, and how it addresses issues of testimony, trauma, and memory. The Archive and its affiliates continue to record the testimonies of willing individuals with first-hand experience of the Nazi persecutions, including those in hiding, survivors, bystanders, resistants, and liberators. Dori Laub is co-author of Testimony: Crisis of Witnessing in Literature. Geoffrey Hartman is the author of many books and essays, including The Longest Shadow: In the Aftermath of the Holocaust.
