Uta Larkey is an Associate Professor of German and Holocaust Studies at Goucher College in Baltimore/MD. Her current course offerings include Jews in Germany from the Haskalah to the Rise of Nazi Regime and Literature and Film on the Holocaust. She co-teaches an Oral History on the Holocaust course in which the students interview local Holocaust survivors and retell parts of their life stories in schools and synagogues. Uta has also organized several public events on and off campus with Holocaust survivors and their families.
Uta's co-authored book project, tentatively titled Fractured Lives: A German-Jewish Family's Correspondence during the Holocaust, is under contract with Cambridge University Press and scheduled for publication this year. Through letters and interviews the book narrates a family history of emigration, immigration and deportation. While in residence Uta will conduct her project Past Forward: the Holocaust in Family Memory, which explores the role of generational shifts in addressing and narrating the events of the Holocaust and investigates the role of the third generation as the facilitator for Holocaust memory.
