As living memory of the Holocaust fades, incidents of antisemitism and Holocaust denial have been on the rise in the United States and around the world. The U Remembers events combat these trends through awareness and education and by connecting the past to present-day issues.

This year’s theme, “Erasure of History,” highlights how history can be whitewashed for nefarious purposes and proposes solutions to fight against that whitewashing. The 2022 U Remembers will consist of three events: a keynote speech by Professor Hansen-Glucklich on museums and memory; a discussion of the recent Ken Burns documentary, “The U.S. and the Holocaust;” and a dialogue on coming to terms with our past.

Together, these events urge us to consider the continuing impact of the Holocaust and antisemitism, to push back against Holocaust denial, and to work towards a more inclusive future. Please visit the U Remembers page for more information about U Remembers, and help promote the event by using this year’s virtual background!
