Alan Rosen "Killing Time, Saving Time: Defying the Holocaust by Counting the Days"

Update: 2011-03-02

Description

Alan Rosen, renowned Holocaust scholar and educator, talks about his current project, "A New Index for Time: Calendars and the Holocaust." Deprived of basic physical and cultural necessities, Holocaust victims often found it impossible simply to keep track of the day's date. Rosen shares a new vocabulary for timekeeping as well as the calendars and diaries victims kept while in hiding and in ghettos.
