Holocaust Remembrance in the Age of Social Media
Join us for a transatlantic panel-discussion about the threats social media poses for remembering the Holocaust and how to overcome them. Jane Harman, President of the Wilson Center, will provide introductory remarks.
Holocaust Remembrance in the Age of Social Media
The question of how to engage younger audiences on the lessons of the Holocaust becomes more relevant each year as there are fewer and fewer survivors. Adding to the challenge is a social media environment rampant with antisemitism, hate, and disinformation. How can educators best use the online space to remember the Holocaust and commemorate its victims? What are the steps that social media companies need to take to promote constructive dialogue about the lessons of history? What role does society at large play in making sure that the words “Never again” continue to have meaning – online and offline?
Join us for a transatlantic panel discussion on International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2021. We will discuss the challenges social media poses for remembering the Holocaust and how to address them. Jane Harman, CEO and President of the Wilson Center, will provide introductory remarks.
