The conference also included a visit to the The Ghetto Fighters&#8217; House and an introduction to the museum&#8217;s exhibits and artifacts.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the conference, which featured new research on a variety of historical, geographical, and cultural cases, participants reflected on the challenges and opportunities presented by conducting research with video and audio testimonies and revealed many ways that testimonies allowed them to make new discoveries, raise new questions, introduce new perspectives, and challenge traditional conceptions and beliefs about the history of the Holocaust. Many presenters relied on testimonies from the USC Shoah Foundation Visual History Archive. Center-affiliated scholars who presented at the conference included Lukas Meissel, the Center&#8217;s 2018-2019 Greenberg Research Fellow, and Yael Siman, a member of the 2017-2019 Interdisciplinary Research Week team.<\/p>\n<p>Read the conference program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgalil.ac.il\/files\/Holocaust_Studies\/edu_sho_5\/Invitation%20Eng.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Watch conference presentations\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLwwE-cpauYFGo06OwYqqmqa087Cd1fvkb\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>View abstracts, photographs, and other conference materials on the conference website\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wgalil.ac.il\/thefutureofholocaustetestimonies5\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":140,"featured_media":5035,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>CAGR Conference Summary - The Future of Holocaust Testimonies V (March 2019)<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2019\/11\/11\/cagr-conference-summary-the-future-of-holocaust-testimonies-v-march-2019\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CAGR Conference Summary - The Future of Holocaust Testimonies V (March 2019) - Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2019\/11\/11\/cagr-conference-summary-the-future-of-holocaust-testimonies-v-march-2019\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Center for Advanced Genocide Research\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-11-11T08:00:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-10T23:34:49+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/108\/2023\/08\/Featured-Image_2019-Future-of-Holocaust-Conference-1024x589.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"589\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"mstroud\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2019\/11\/11\/cagr-conference-summary-the-future-of-holocaust-testimonies-v-march-2019\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/2019\/11\/11\/cagr-conference-summary-the-future-of-holocaust-testimonies-v-march-2019\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"mstroud\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/cagr\/#\/schema\/person\/c7140a1ede22d56d41a34683c7926fba\"},\"headline\":\"CAGR Conference Summary &#8211;
