52nd Annual Scholars’ Conference (2022)

March 5 – 7, 2022

The Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at The University of Texas at Dallas hosted scholars March 5-7, 2022, as we celebrated the 52nd anniversary of this important conference and continue the legacy established by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke more than fifty years ago. This conference offers the opportunity to address the historical significance of the Holocaust through scholarship that is interfaith, international, and interdisciplinary.
