SUMMARY:Trauma and Transcendence: the Shadow of the Holocaust on an Israeli
  Sinologist
DESCRIPTION:Talk will be held over Zoom\n\nRegistration required: https://h
 arvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_brAA3a7e79Sj6D3\n\nCo-sponsored with 
 the Center for Jewish Studies\, Harvard University\n\nThe late Irene Eber 
 (1929-2019)\, professor of East Asian Studies at the Hebrew University of 
 Jerusalem and a long-time affiliate of the Fairbank Center of Harvard\, is
  arguably the scholar on the intercultural and transnational encounters be
 tween Jews and modern China. She is also a Holocaust survivor who wrote an
  inimitable memoir\, The Choice: Poland\, 1939-1945. It offered an unparal
 leled chance to unravel how China is construed by a Jewish Sinologist haun
 ted by an all-pervasive mood of subdued obsession and inner wrestling with
  her memories of the Holocaust. This talk\, sitting on the intersection of
  China studies\, Jewish studies\, and Holocaust studies\, will examine the
  nexus between her Jewish identity and her academic vocation\, and discuss
  how this tormented scholar made a variety of personal and academic choice
 s and managed to find her position in this world of imponderables.
