Founded in 1970 by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke, the Annual Scholars' Conference provides an invaluable forum for scholars to discuss and advance Holocaust research, ensuring the valuable lessons of the Holocaust remain relevant for today’s world.

Please join us on March 7th as we continue the important legacy established by Franklin H. Littell and Hubert G. Locke more than fifty years ago. Rather than a traditional multi-day conference, this year’s ASC will feature three distinguished speakers that will address the past, present, and future of Holocaust studies.

11am CST – Ackerman Center Distinguished Lecture:
Dr. Yehuda Bauer, "Denial and Distortion of Holocaust Memory"
