Joe Chaplin from the Albert Sloman Library has written an in-depth blog post: Dive into History: Commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day. Professor Lower stumbled across one such piece of evidence – a photograph documenting the shooting of a mother and her children and the men who killed them – and has crafted a forensically brilliant and moving study that brings the larger horror of the genocide into focus.įollowing the talk, Dr Joanna Rzepa from the Department of Literature, Film, and Theatre Studies and Co-Chair of the Holocaust Memorial Week Organising Committee was ‘in conversation’ with Professor Lower about her research for ‘ The Ravine’ and our audience had a chance to ask questions. The terrible mass shootings in Poland and Ukraine are often neglected in studies of the Holocaust because the perpetrators were meticulously careful to avoid leaving any evidence of their actions. Our online ‘Words with…’ event was with acclaimed historian Professor Wendy Lower who talked about her book ‘ The Ravine’ which explores an exceptionally rare image documenting the horrific final moment of the murder of a family during the Holocaust.
