USC Shoah Foundation presents a special online program titled “Antisemitism Through Survivor Narratives and Perpetrator Music” on Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m.

The webinar is the first in a three-part series being held in conjunction with USC Shoah Foundation’s Scholar Lab on Antisemitism.

For the last year, six scholars from diverse fields have been collaborating in USC Shoah Foundation’s inaugural Scholar Lab to address the question, “Why the Jews?”

This fall, in a series of three events, scholars will discuss what they have learned and present individual research projects.

At the first event, MacArthur Grant-winner Dr. Josh Kun, of USC, will present commentary, music and archival recordings in his exploration of the Nazi’s use of music as a soundtrack of terror.

UCLA’s Dr. Todd Presner, winner of the Digital Media and Learning Prize from the MacArthur Foundation/HASTAC, will present a computational analysis of the language survivors use to describe antisemitism in Visual History Archive testimony.

The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Alexis Lerner, assistant professor of political science at the United States Naval Academy.

Admission is free but reservations are required.
