Stephen Smith, Finci Viterbi Executive Director of the USC Shoah Foundation, speaks on a panel exploring the nature and history of Holocaust museums and memorials, and how issues of cultural identity, responsibility to community, and individual and national response to genocide are reflected in and impacted by museums’ artifacts and memorials.

Twenty years after the deadliest terrorist attack ever committed on U.S. soil, have we gained enough perspective to evaluate the impact of 9/11 on our society and heal the wounds of its aftermath?

Produced by USC Shoah Foundation, the award-winning Two Sides of Survival brings together stories from the East and West, chronicling how Jews who fled the Nazis in Europe, and Chinese who were threatened by Japanese occupation, improbably found refuge close to one another in the 1930’s and during World War II.
