SUMMARY:Dr Avril Alba Lecture
DESCRIPTION:\nThe Holocaust Remembered and Misremembered in Australia: Revi
 siting the Demidenko / Darville Controversy\nAppeals to Holocaust memory a
 re typically made to illuminate other instances of racial or antisemitic p
 ersecution and to highlight the injustice at hand. Against this backdrop\,
  the curious Australian case of Helen Demidenko/Darville\, the author of t
 he novel The Hand that Signed the Paper provides a startling exception. Pe
 rhaps the most perplexing aspect of the book was its use of antisemitic an
 d racist tropes to explore and explain the history and memory of the Holoc
 aust. In this talk\, I revisit these aspects of the Demidenko/Darville con
 troversy and in so doing reveal the somewhat shaky foundations upon which 
 the nascent Australian multiculturalism of the 1990s rested.\nDr Avril Alb
 a is Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies and Jewish Civilisation in the D
 epartment of Hebrew\, Biblical and Jewish Studies at the University of Syd
 ney. She teaches and researches in the areas of Holocaust and modern Jewis
 h history. From 2002-2011 Avril was the Education Director at the Sydney J
 ewish Museum where she also served as the Project Director/Curator for the
  permanent exhibitions Culture and Continuity (2009)\, The Holocaust (2017
 ) and The Holocaust and Human Rights (2018 with Prof Jennifer Barrett and 
 Prof Dirk Moses). Her current major research project is The Memory of the 
 Holocaust in Australian Public Life .\nEnquiries to davidhmarlow@gmail.com
