Bearing Witness: The Impact of Memorialization
In this podcast series produced by Andrew W. Mellon Fellow Dr. Stephanie Arel and award winning documentary filmmaker Jessica Daugherty, we will speak with museum and memorial workers including curators, collectors, writers, and directors about the impacts their work at memorial sites has on communities and themselves to investigate the importance of the roles they play in society. The podcast is a continuation of Dr. Arel's research, and is a companion podcast to her book Bearing Witness: The Wounds of Mass Trauma at Memorial Museums.
Bearing Witness: The Impact of Memorialization
Bearing Witness: Galicia Jewish Museum
One of the first locations Dr. Stephanie Arel visited when she began research for her book Bearing Witness: The Wounds of Mass Trauma at Memorial Museums was the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, Poland. She went there to understand how they were memorializing the Holocaust and the impact this work had on the museum's workers. In this episode, we have the opportunity to catch up with Samantha McLaughlin, one of the first interviewees, about how her work at the Galicia Jewish Museum deepend her dedication to the subject and how she has evolved and expanded her work in the field.
This episode is brought to you by Dr. Stephanie Arel and produced by Shrine13.
