"Never Again!", Then and Now: Lessons from the Post-1945 Anti-Concentration Camp Movement Historian Emma Kuby will discuss Nazi camp survivors' postwar activism against cruel internment systems around the world and will consider what their struggle has to teach us about today's detention crisis here in the US. How did survivors define "concentration camps" in the 1940s, 50s, and 60s? Why did they insist that the Nazi case could and should be compared to ongoing abuses? And was "Never Again!" ultimately an effective framework for their activism? Emma is the author of Political Survivors: The Resistance, the Cold War, and the Fight against Concentration Camps after 1945 (Cornell, 2019).
