Lessons and Legacies

Lessons and Legacies is a biannual conference in Holocaust studies organized by the Holocaust Educational Foundation[1] and first held in 1989.[2] The conference has produced more than ten volumes of conference proceedings, which are published by Northwestern University Press. Historian Anna Hájková writes that it is "widely acknowledged to be the central academic conference for Holocaust study and research".[1]
