The use of Holocaust and Nazi comparisons in the contemporary American political scene is very common. The phenomenon has significant implications for how the Holocaust is remembered, and how history is interpreted. It also has profound and complex impact on American civil discourse.
To discuss the issue in more depth, the Sabo Center and Representative Frank Hornstein invite you to participate in a discussion with Dr. Gavriel Rosenfeld, Professor of History at Fairfield University.
Dr. Rosenfeld is a Professor of History and Director of the Undergraduate Program in Judaic Studies at Fairfield University. He received a B.A. in History and Judaic Studies from Brown University in 1989 and a Ph.D. in History from UCLA in 1996. His area of specialization is the history and memory of the Holocaust and Nazi Germany. He is the author of Hi Hitler: How the Nazi Past is Being Normalized in Contemporary Culture.
