Join the Program in Judaic Studies and the Center for Collaborative History to hear Renée Poznanski discuss her book, “Propaganda and Persecution: The French Resistance and the ‘Jewish Question’” which won the 2009 Henri Hertz Prize from the Chancellerie des Universités de Paris and was recently published in an English translation. 

Renée Poznanski is a professor emerita at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in the Department of Politics and Government — a department she created and headed during several years — and former head of the Simone Veil Research Institute for Contemporary European Studies. She has published extensively on Jews in France during World War II, and her research examines their daily lives, relations between Jews and non-Jews, rescue and resistance of the Jews, and the impact of memory on the historiography of this period. Poznanski has been a fellow at the Remarque Institute (NYU), the Center for Advanced Studies (U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum), Sciences Po (Paris), the EHESS (Paris) and the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (Harvard University).

Open to the public.
