194/ Holocaust Studies and the Gaza Genocide w/ Amos Goldberg (Part 2)

For episode 194, I am joined by Amos Goldberg, Professor of Holocaust History at the Department of Jewish History and Contemporary Jewry at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Goldberg is among the most vocal Israeli historians of the Holocaust to have called Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. In 2024, he wrote a paper for the Journal of Genocide Research on the question of intent, which we explored in part 1. In this episode, the second part of our conversation, we get into the crisis within Holocaust and Genocide Studies since the start of the Gaza genocide. In the last segment, we spoke about “The Holocaust and the Nakba: A New Grammar of Trauma and History”, which Goldberg co-edited, and argue for the necessity of new horizons in our imaginaries.
