The Center for Advanced Holocaust Studies announces the 2014 Jack and
Anita Hess Faculty Seminar. This year’s Hess Seminar is designed for
professors who are teaching or preparing to teach English, Jewish
studies, modern languages, literature, or other courses that have a
Holocaust-related literature component. Sessions will focus on
imaginative responses to the Holocaust created by a variety of
writers, from those writing during the Holocaust to survivors to
second generation authors to those without an explicit family
connection to this event.

The seminar will be co-led by Anita Norich, from the Department of
English Language and Literature and the Frankel Center for Judaic
Studies at University of Michigan, and Erin McGlothlin, from the
Departments of Germanic Languages and Literatures and of Jewish,
Islamic and Near Eastern Languages and Cultures at Washington
University in St. Louis.

Applications are due on October 21, 2013. Applicants will be notified
of the results of the selection process by November 15, 2013. For

Please address inquiries and applications to Dr. Dieter Kuntz, program

This seminar is endowed by Edward and David Hess in memory of their
parents, Jack and Anita Hess, who believed passionately in the power
of education to overcome racial and religious prejudice.
