KHC: NEH 2020-21: Internment & Resistance

The Harriet and Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center’s (KHC) 2020-21 National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) colloquium, Internment & Resistance: Confronting Mass Detention and Dehumanization, focuses on global constructions of concentration camp systems and the challenges that they present. Engaging comparative and multi-disciplinary perspectives, these events examine the processes, mechanisms, forms, and functions of mass detention without trial. They also highlight acts of personal, spiritual, psychological, and social resistance to mass detention. This colloquium is aligned with the KHC’s original exhibition, The Concentration Camps: Inside the Nazi System of Incarceration and Genocide - khc.qcc.cuny.edu/camps/ - For more information about the KHC at Queensborough Community College, please visit khc.qcc.cuny.edu
