Lecture: "Artifacts & Ethics: Representing Violence in the Holocaust Museum"

March 28, 2017

Dr. David M. Luebke, Professor of History at the University of Oregon and keynote speaker for the 2017 HSU History Conference, will discuss “Artifacts and Ethics: Representing Violence in the Holocaust Museum” on Friday, April 7, from 5-6:30 p.m. in the Native American Forum, BSS 162.

Dr. Luebke worked for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., for four years before its opening in 1993, first as a historical consultant, then as a member of the design team for the museum’s permanent exhibition. In that capacity, he was responsible for researching, composing, and editing all textual elements – artifact labels, captions for photographs, and narrative exhibition texts.

This event is open to HSU students, faculty, staff and the community. Persons who wish to request disability related accommodations should contact the History Department at 707-826-3641 or histdept@humboldt.edu as soon as possible. Some accommodations may take up to several weeks to arrange.
