DESCRIPTION:Keene State College is honored to host Prof. Marion Kaplan to 
 deliver the keynote lecture for the inaugural New England Conference on Ho
 locaust and Genocide Studies. In her lecture\, entitled "Beyond Broken Gla
 ss: A Gendered Perspective on the November Pogrom\," Kaplan will offer an 
 overview of Nazi policy toward Jews in the years leading up to the Novembe
 r Pogrom (commonly known as Kristallnacht)\, approached from a social hist
 ory perspective that focuses on events at the grassroots level. Her talk a
 lso adopts a gendered lens\, exploring how men and women experienced the a
 ntisemitic onslaught in both similar and different ways. The lecture will 
 examine the course of the pogrom itself\, highlighting how violence and pe
 rsecution were shaped by gender\, and will consider the courage shown by w
 omen who sought to secure the release of their sons\, husbands\, and fathe
 rs from concentration camps.Speaker Bio: Marion Kaplan is the Skirball Pro
