Fotografi fra Holocaust. Seminar og miniutstilling

Georg W. Fossums fotografi, som først ble publisert i 1994, har fått en betydelig plass i den visuelle hukommelsen om Holocaust i Norge. Hvordan kan dette bildets spesielle historie sammenlignes med historiene til fotografier fra andre steder i Europa?

Sammen med Senter for studier av Holocaust og livssynsminoriteter inviterer Nasjonalbiblioteket forskere fra en rekke land til seminar om fotografi og minnet om Holocaust.

Seminaret foregår på engelsk. (The seminar will be held in english.)

____________________

The photograph of Georg W. Fossum, depicting a crowd witnessing the departure of a boat transporting 529 Norwegian Jews to Auschwitz, was not published before 1994. Since then it has gained a significant place in the visual memory of Holocaust in Norway.

How may the specific history of this picture, be compared to the histories of photographs from other places in Europe? What kinds of significance may the photographs from Holocaust have?
