Artifacts and Ethics Lecture

Dr. David Luebke, History professor at the University of Oregon and keynote speaker for the 2017 HSU History Conference, discusses “Artifacts & Ethics: Representing Violence in the Holocaust Museum.” Dr. Luebke worked for the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC, for four years before its opening in 1993, first as a historical consultant, then as a member of the design team for the museum’s permanent exhibition. In that capacity, he was responsible for researching, composing, and editing all textual elements – artifact labels, captions for photographs, and narrative exhibition.
