PHOTOGRAPHY and THE HOLOCAUST



A relationship between the photographic image as cultural artifact and the Holocaust as an historical
 event and analyzing photographic images for use in the classroom were the topics explores
at this event which  took place in CM110, West Windsor Campus
The lecture was hosted by MCCC History Professor Craig Coenen who, with  Professor Jack Tabor, led a Study Abroad tour to Poland in 2013 that included visits to the Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, the Treblinka killing center, and the Warsaw Ghetto.
During his lecture, Tabor explored the relationship between the photographic image as cultural artifact, and the Holocaust as an historical event. His talk examined the ways photography served the ability to understand, and to some extent bear witness, to the plight of the millions who perished at the hands of the Nazis.
