Annette P. Levine -- a 1995 SUNY Oswego graduate and professor of world languages, literatures and cultures at Ithaca College -- will present a talk titled "They Were a Family: Descendants of Holocaust Survivors and the Inheritance of Intergenerational Trauma" at 4 p.m. on Wednesday, April 5, in the Marano Campus Center auditorium (Room 132).
Taking the 1994 AMIA bombing in Buenos Aires as a point of departure of a series of in-depth inquiries into the nature of truth telling and truth finding, Levine's research is based on her interviews with descendants of Holocaust survivors in Brazil and Argentina. Levine will share her personal interest in testimonial storytelling as she reveals a belated discovery about her own family's Holocaust experience.
Levine is the author of "Cry for Me, Argentina" and co-editor of "Landscapes of Memory and Impunity: The Aftermath of the AMIA Bombing in Jewish Argentina."
Gonzalo Aguiar Malosetti of SUNY Oswego's Modern Languages and Literatures Department will moderate the event.
Persons with disabilities, needing accommodations to attend the event, should contact the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at 315-312-2196 or email Brenda Farnham at brenda.farnham@oswego.edu.
