Speaker: Pavel Batel
Terezín: Propaganda and Witness
Wednesday, November 11, 7–8:30 p.m.
For more than two decades, Batel has dedicated himself to researching the Terezín Ghetto and preserving the stories of those who lived through it. His work is grounded in extensive interviews with Holocaust survivors, archival research, and long-term relationships with survivor communities. His research examines not only the suffering of Jews imprisoned in Terezín, but also the complex human stories, acts of courage, and mechanisms of Nazi propaganda and deception that shaped the ghetto.
In a time when Jewish communities are confronting the distortion of Holocaust history and the persistence of contemporary antisemitism, join us for an opportunity to hear directly from a scholar whose work is rooted in the physical places, archival records, and human stories of the Holocaust.
