Sex And The Holocaust
The keynote address, "Sexual
Violence in the Holocaust," will be given by Doris L. Bergen of
the University of Notre Dame. "Daring to examine and talk about sexual
violence in the Holocaust serves several important purposes: it
increases our knowledge of the depth of suffering of those targeted
for destruction and enhances our ability truly to remember them; it
reveals similarities and differences among different groups of victims
of Nazi attack; and it sheds light on the motivations of the killers
and those who planned their assaults."
