The international conferences „Women and the Holocaust“ were first established in 2002 as a joint initiative of Beit Berl Academic College, Beit Terezin and Beit Lohamei Hagetaot.
All conferences take place in these three institutions, one day in each location. The lectures, workshops and events reflect the unique character of each institution.
The Sixth International Conference on Women and the Holocaust will focus on personal women’s life stories from gendered perspectives. It will reveal a wide range of individual stories of women during and after the Holocaust and will comprise an interesting, original and unique tapestry of women’s experiences. The conference will offer a methodological observation of these stories, that follows divers transference methods, in different voices, different emphasis and through a general analysis of the changes occurring in the female personal story genre on a timeline, and its connection to the changes in the field of Holocaust memory in general.
