About this talk
Historian and journalist James McAuley comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to chronicle the story of how Holocaust memory was constructed in the aftermath of the Second World War. Drawing on his sweeping new book, The Shadow and the Flame, McAuley traces the individuals whose arguments helped define how the Holocaust would be understood for generations, from Hannah Arendt and Salo Baron to Elie Wiesel. Join us to discover how the Holocaust came to occupy its place in public memory, and how those early battles continue to shape Jewish memory today.
