This year’s Ina Levine Annual Lecture at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is about how the social scientists of today are marshaling new concepts, methods and data in addressing the causes and consequences of the Holocaust.

Why did some Polish and Ukrainian communities violently attack their Jewish neighbors while others did not during World War II? What local minorities assisted Jews in unexpected ways? How did the killing centers continue to affect economic and political behavior in their areas over time?

Learn how a new generation of social scientists is using new concepts, methods and data to answer questions like these and shed new light on the causes and consequences of the Holocaust.
