<H2 CLASS="MsoPlainText">Multidirectional Memory? National Holocaust Memorials and (Post-)Colonial Legacies </H2>
<H4><SPAN>Speakers: Avril Alba, Yasmin Khan, and Tom Lawson. Chaired by Tamar Garb.</SPAN></H4>
<P CLASS="MsoPlainText">How do colonial history, the Second World War, and the Holocaust intersect? As Britain embarks on the creation of a National Holocaust Memorial, calls have been made for a memorial to and a museum of Britain’s historical involvement in slavery, its colonial past, and their legacies. Meanwhile, scholarship such as Michael Rothberg’s Multidirectional Memory has argued that Holocaust remembrance also has the potential to open up routes for commemorating other contested national pasts. This panel will enable a dialogue between scholars of the Holocaust, colonialism, and the British Empire to reflect on national and transnational legacies. With Avril Alba, Yasmin Khan, and Tom Lawson. Chaired by Tamar Garb.</P>
