Past Events
RHOSE Representation of Homes Open Seminar (24): Mónika Mezei: Representation of Home in Holocaust survivors’ testimonies, Faculdade de Letras da Universidade de Lisboa. Room C134.A: 19th of June 2023 between 14:30 and 16:30
Mónika Mezei’s talk introduces the representation of home in testimonies of Holocaust survivors. Holocaust testimonies of the Video History Archive of the Shoah Foundation of University of Southern California (USC SF) are full-life interviews where survivors, rescuers or witnesses tell stories and experiences of their lives before, during and after the Holocaust. The focus of their childhood memories is often around their home which also can be considered the place of security and peace before the traumatic events. In the testimonies, many topics are related to the concept of „home”, such as family, holidays, relationships or religious life. During the presentation clips of testimonies are analyzed discussing the respresentation of these topics.
