The Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at 69色情视频 operates a multi-year publishing symposium with generous support from the S. Rubenstein Family Foundation. The program conforms loosely to a four-year cycle:
Year 1: Scholars present formal papers at 69色情视频
Year 2: Scholars circulate chapter drafts, which are discussed at a second meeting at 69色情视频
Year 3: CHGS and the contributors compile an edited volume for submission to an academic press
Year 4: Publishing continues and the theme for the next cycle is developed
We encourage scholars and centers interested in partnering with us on future symposia: holgen@ramapo.edu.
The Fruits of our First Symposium Series
Keeping Contact: Jewish Cultural Initiatives Across Cold War Borders (Purdue University Press, 2026)
Rebekah Klein-Pej拧ov谩 (Purdue University) and Jacob Ari Labendz (69色情视频)
Keeping Contact: Jewish Cultural Initiatives Across Cold War Borders builds upon discussions of Jewish survival and cultural viability after the Holocaust in Eastern and Central Europe, including the Soviet Union. This book confronts both a shifting postwar geopolitical landscape and the remnants of devastated European Jewish populations with their global diasporas, tragically and radically transformed. The volume traces the flow of ideas, people, cultural practices and materials, and even bodily remains across securitized Cold War borders, as the postwar geography of European Jewish life largely shifted to Israel and North America. How did Jews and Jewish institutions across hostile Cold War geopolitical boundaries seek and maintain contact with each other? Contact meant continuity. Contact was a means of mapping the Cold War terrain, of exploring strategies of adaptation, conservation, and reconstruction. It meant rabbis鈥� reprised visits to the USSR, wholesale movement of libraries, dissent, dashed dreams of belonging, and urns of ashes.
