If you’re looking for interesting professional development opportunities, or just a stimulating public roundtable discussion, the Cohen Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies has a good one coming up.

“Anguished Hope: Holocaust Scholars Confront the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict” will take place on Friday, December 11, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Mountain View Room, Student Center. Holocaust scholars will discuss what the study of the Holocaust helps us to understand, or leads us to ponder, when facing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict while being attentive to its history and complex dynamics. Four contributors to the book Anguished Hope will discuss their work on that project, and explore their continuing engagement with this demanding topic.

A pre-registration fee is required for each roundtable. For a registration form, or more information, please visit: www.keene.edu/cchs/.
