Here There Are Blueberries + Post-Show Conversation
Rabbi Gil Steinlauf, CJL Executive Director and Jewish Chaplain at Princeton University; Consul General Till Knorn, German Consulate, New York
Sun, 2/2 · 2:00 pm · Matthews Theatre at McCarter Theatre Center
McCarter Theater, Tectonic Theater Project, Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics
McCarter and Tectonic have partnered with the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE), the production’s Content & Conversation partner, to curate a series of post-show discussions with leading ethicists and scholars to discuss the complex issues raised in the play—and consider their relevance for today. Conversations take place directly after the matinee performances on January 26, February 1, February 2, and February 8.
Why Continue to Study the Holocaust? Auschwitz was liberated 80 years ago; we have seen genocides since 1945. Why do we continue to study the Holocaust; why does the Holocaust remain so much a part of contemporary pedagogy, literature, ethics and more? What is the role of Holocaust study in a post-survivor world?
Panelists: Rabbi Gil Steinlauf, CJL Executive Director and Jewish Chaplain at Princeton University and Consul General Till Knorn, German Consulate New York.
