The Italian Academy - 1161 Amsterdam Avenue, New York, NY 10027 (Just south of 118th Street)
With Michael Beckerman (NYU) and Harvey Sachs (Curtis Institute of Music).
Europe and the United Nations commemorate the victims of the Shoah each winter on the date of Auschwitz's liberation in 1945; the Italian Academy presents an annual academic event exploring issues of discrimination and crimes against humanity. In previous years, the Academy broadened its focus to explore groups that were targeted in the racism and xenophobia of the Nazi and Fascist regimes, and that suffered and died along with the millions of Jews. This year, our Symposium will address music, Fascism, and the Holocaust.
