| Abstract: | This event was co-organised by Dr Larissa Allwork (English) and Dr Paul Jackson (History). Professor David Cesarani OBE (Royal Holloway, University of London) gave the University of Northampton’s annual Holocaust Memorial Day Lecture on ‘The Second World War and the Fate of the Jews.’ Professor Cesarani’s lecture was introduced by University of Northampton Vice Chancellor, Nick Petford and Northampton Borough Councillor, Anna S King (Assistant Cabinet Member for Community Engagement). Professor Cesarani’s lecture was preceded by a stone laying ceremony led by the University of Northampton Multi-Faith Chaplaincy team at the Anne Frank/ Stephen Lawrence Memorial Tree. His lecture was followed by various talks and activities. These included a presentation from the University of Northampton’s Searchlight Archive (Dan Jones), a contribution by the University of Northampton History Society, a presentation on contemporary challenges in memorialization (Dr Larissa Allwork) as well as a talk on the representation of the Rwandan genocide in graphic novels (Dr Sam Knowles). 45-50 staff, students and members of the public attended Professor Cesarani's lecture. Subject Leader for Fine Art, Dr Ralph Darbyshire’s contemporary photographs of the architectural remains of Camp de Rivesaltes, a former Vichy concentration camp which imprisoned Jews, Roma and political dissidents, among others, was also on display.
