Women’s Stories: Holocaust Histories in the Museum
October 21, 2026, 2:30pm to 4:00pm EDT

Museums act as conduits of historical information to the public. As such, these institutions are responsible for considering their role in creating and perpetuating historical narratives. Using gender as a category of historical analysis reveals how women are underrepresented within memorial spaces dedicated to the Holocaust. While individual women may be visibly depicted in photos and conveyed through survivor testimonies, exhibits at many large museums often miss the overarching narrative of women’s collective experiences. Join Dr. Katie Chaka-Parks, Director of Education at the Zekelman Holocaust Center in Farmington Hills, Michigan, for a discussion about how these representations and omissions inform our understanding of the memory and history of the Holocaust.
