Jennifer Evans delivered the Holocaust Memorial Lecture at Stetson University in DeLand Florida. In “The Third Reich’s Other Victims: Queer Identity and Holocaust Memory After Fascism,” Evans explored the continuous struggle for recognition, the establishment of a memorial in central Berlin dedicated to queer victims and the broader implications of remembering such atrocities in today’s memorial landscape.
“Understanding the LGBTQ community’s historical and ongoing struggles in memorializing queer victims of the Holocaust is particularly important, in a contemporary American context, for fostering an awareness of human rights, historical injustices and the ongoing fight for inclusivity and remembrance,” explained Eric Kurlander, PhD, Stetson’s William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of History and director of Jewish Studies.
