There will be an online Roundtable ‘Writing Experiences of Ghettos, Killing Centres, and Camps in Eastern Europe’, with Sandra Alfers, Erin McGlothlin, and Sven-Erik Rose, hosted by the Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre, and chaired by Stuart Taberner.

The roundtable will explore the rich, but underexplored, literature that emerged out of, and about, Holocaust sites in Eastern Europe. The speakers will discuss the uneasy place of this body of writing within the canon of Holocaust literature, how these texts reshape our understanding of the Holocaust, and the role literature played for people confined in ghettos.
