Jewish Enrichment Series
Wednesday, September 27, 2017
7:15 PM EDT - 9:30 PM EDT
On the eve of the anniversary of Babi Yar, we will look at what happened to 2.8 million Soviet Jews nearly two years before Auschwitz crematoria went into full gear, why that part of the Shoah was forgotten, and why it is so important today to remember and reintegrate it into our collective memory.
Izabella Tabarovsky is Senior Program Associate with the Kennan Institute at the Wilson Center. Her research focuses on the politics of historical memory in the post-Soviet space. She previously worked at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government, and private consultancies.
Izabella holds a Master of Arts degree in Russian History from Harvard University and Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Colorado in Boulder. She is a native Russian speaker with working knowledge of Hebrew, Spanish, French, and German.
