The 2019-2020 Holocaust Living History Workshop (HLHW) series continues this fall with seven compelling lectures highlighting the diverse journeys of survivors and victims of the Holocaust. Every year the popular HLHW, co-sponsored by the UC San Diego Library and the UC San Diego Jewish Studies Program, invites high-caliber speakers to campus to share inspiring stories that broaden our understanding of the past, foster tolerance and preserve the memories of victims and survivors of the Holocaust.
All events are free and open to the public. Due to the success of the program, registration is now required for all events. Walk-ins are welcome the day of the event based on availability. To register by phone, contact Ellysa Lim at (858) 534-1183.
