The Testimony of the Multitude: Computational Analysis of the USC Shoah Foundation Archive
Start: Wednesday, May 10, 2023 - 11:00am
End: Wednesday, May 10, 2023 - 11:00am
where:
In recent decades, enormous efforts have been made to gather the testimonies of the last living Holocaust survivors. The challenge we face today is attending to all those thousands of human stories, which despite being safely stored in archives, may nevertheless disappear into oblivion. The challenge is at once ethical and technological: how to listen to thousands of testimonies as an integral body of voices and stories rather than a collection of fragmentary items in a database.

If These Bones Could Speak: Early Armenian Pilgrimages to the Killing Fields of Dayr al-Zur

End: Wednesday, April 26, 2023 - 1:00pm
where:
In this presentation, Elyse Semerdjian will outline the earliest Armenian pilgrimages to the killing fields of Dayr al-Zur in the Syrian Desert. It is there that Armenians interacted with the remains of Armenians murdered during the Armenian Genocide (1915-1918) in acts of remembrance. Semerdjian will discuss the origins of the now-destroyed Armenian Genocide Memorial in Dayr al-Zur and the ritual and collection habits of pilgrims that enact what she calls bone memory.
