International conference “Transformations of Shoah Trauma in Post-2000 Literatures”, organized on November 5-6, 2025, by Palacký University (Centre for Jewish Studies, Department of Czech Studies, Department of Dutch Studies) in cooperation with Royal Holloway, University of London (Holocaust Research Institute) and the Catholic University in Lublin (International Centre for Research of the History and Cultural Heritage of the Central and Eastern European Jews).
The conference will present the perspectives of researchers from around the world on how the narrative of the Shoah and its image in cultural memory have been transformed since the year 2000 – from new literary forms and the intergenerational transmission of trauma to the ethical questions raised by the depiction of the Holocaust in the age of digital media.
