Facing History and Ourselves is a national organization that supports educators, transforms schools, and gathers communitiies for meaningful dialogue about today’s most profound and challenging issues. They’re headquartered in Boston, but we have a Facing History presence right here in Memphis, and I’ve promoted their work on Spotlight before.

This week, I’d like to Spotlight an event organized by my own home department at Rhodes College the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures. We’ll be welcoming Julia Elsky, a professor of French at Loyola University in Chicago, who will be discussing her new book, “Writing Occupation: Jewish Émigré Voices in Wartime France.” In this book, Elsky asks important questions about language and identity in a time of oppression, and discusses Jewish writers who emigrated from Eastern Europe to France in the early 20th century. A number of these authors chose to switch from writing in their native languages to writing primarily in French, a language that represented both a literary center and the promises of French universalism. Even during the second world war, they continued to write in their adopted language, even as Nazi occupiers denied their French identity through xenophobic and antisemetic laws.
