Einstein Forum Presents

Final Solutions? Genocide in Comparative Perspective

This event, moderated by Ewa Atanassow, will introduce and stimulate a conversation with Konstanty Gebert about his new book, Final Solutions: Genocide Perpetrators and their Work, that was published in Polish earlier this year. Framed by a discussion of 'genocide' as a legal concept, the book offers a global history of mass murder in the past 120 years featuring a broad range of cases in Europe (Bosnia, Holocaust, Ukrainian famine), Asia (Armenians, Cambodia, Uygurs), and Africa (Namibia, Rwanda).

This is a hybrid event. Participants can join at the Einstein Forum in Potsdam or online. Link for online registration.

This event is co-hosted by the Einstein Forum, HI 109 Global History Lab and PT 358 Critical Human Rights. BCB community can join without registration. All other participants will be invited personally.
