In this talk, British historian Tim Cole tells the story of the Shoah through an exploration of the landscapes that victims moved across in Europe. His exploration of the “Holocaust landscapes” shines a powerful light on the geographic dimensions of the Shoah. Cole earned his Ph.D. in geography from the University of Cambridge with a study of the spatiality of ghettoization in Budapest and is a professor of social history at the University of Bristol, UK. A pioneering scholar of the “spatial turn” in Holocaust studies, he is involved in several collaborative digital humanities and creative technologies projects, including the Holocaust Geographies Collaborative. His many publications include “Holocaust City,” “Traces of the Holocaust,” and “Holocaust Landscapes.” Registration is required Visit https://library.ucsd.edu/news-events/events/holocaust-landscape-hlhw22/ Please Note: We are striving to host this event in-person with a limited number of seats as well as livestreaming the talk for those who wish to attend virtually.

Welcome to "Hadestown," where a song can change your fate. Winner of eight 2019 Tony Awards including Best Musical, this acclaimed new show by celebrated singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell and innovative director Rachel Chavkin (Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812) is a love story for today… and always. "Hadestown" intertwines two mythic tales —that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of King Hades and his wife Persephone— as it invites you on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Mitchell’s beguiling melodies and Chavkin’s poetic imagination pit industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love. Performed by a vibrant ensemble of actors, dancers and singers, Hadestown is a haunting and hopeful theatrical experience that grabs you and never lets go. The acclaimed Broadway musical will take place at the San Diego Civic Theatre on the following dates: • Tuesday, May 31 at 7 p.m. • Wednesday, June 1 at 7 p.m. • Thursday, June 2 at 7:30 p.m. • Friday, June 3 at 8 p.m. • Saturday, June 4 at 2 p.m. – Sign language interpretation • Saturday, June 4 at 8 p.m. • Sunday, June 5 at 1 p.m. – Close caption • Sunday, June 5 at 6:30 p.m. Get tickets here!
