The Holocaust is studied and remembered because it is believed that by
increasing awareness of the events and horrors of the past, this chapter of
history will never be repeated. However, what precisely do we hope to learn?
What "lessons" might we expect to take away from this horrendous event? 

Dr. Richard Koenigsberg's research focuses on the ideology and minds of the
perpetrators. His presentation will explore the logic of the Holocaust--the
meaning of those ideas that were the source of genocide. By understanding
the motives of Hitler, Goebbels and other Nazi leaders, perhaps we can begin
to become aware of the forces that lead societies toward destruction and
self-destruction.

Dr. Koenigsberg is a psychologist who seeks to uncover the "hidden
narratives" that lie beneath the surface of culture and the historical
process. He has pioneered a method for studying the ideological fantasies of
political leaders through analysis of images and metaphors contained in
their writings and speeches. His book, Hitler's Ideology, changed the
direction of research on the Holocaust. 

His other books include The Psychoanalysis of Racism, Revolution and
Nationalism and Symbiosis and Separation: Towards a Psychology of Culture.
