Millersville University of Pennsylvania announces the 32nd Annual Conference on the Holocaust and Genocide, which will take place at the university on April 18-20, 2012. The 32nd Annual Conference will discuss the representation of the Holocaust and Genocide in Art and Film and their influence on the perception of these tragic events. The conference will analyze the relevance and accuracy of Holocaust and Genocide representations, possibilities and limitations for artistic expression, and the problem of the commercialization of these themes.

Panel proposals should also include individual paper proposals and one-page CVs. Please send your materials as email attachments in .doc or .docx formats with your first and last name in the title of files. Foreign scholars should inform us if they need support letters for a U.S. visa for conference attendance.
