A public lecture by Marion Kaplan (Skirball Professor of Modern Jewish History, New York University)
\n2018-2019 Sara and Asa Shapiro Scholar in Residence<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Organized by the USC Shoah Foundation Center for Advanced Genocide Research<\/a><\/p>\n

In this lecture, Professor Marion Kaplan will trace the origins of Holocaust research on gender issues, which began in the 1980s. She will address her own contributions to the study of Jewish gender and family history in Nazi Germany, as well as how the field has evolved into the 21st century. Finally, she will point to areas that still need research and analysis. She will argue that bringing gender into the history will both nuance and enhance our understanding of the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

Professor Kaplan is a three-time winner of the National Jewish Book Award for her books The Making of the Jewish Middle Class: Women, Family and Identity in Imperial Germany<\/em> (1991); Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany<\/em> (1998); and the co-edited volume Gender and Jewish History<\/em> (2011).<\/p>\n
