On Thursday, April 4 2019, Prof. Dr. Ilya A. Altman gave a guest lecture at the University of Innsbruck. The topic of the lecture was “Researching and remembering the Holocaust in contemporary Russia”.
 
Prof. Altman is a Russian historian and co-founder, as well as co-chairman of the Russian Research and Educational Holocaust Center in Moscow. Prof. Altman is also teaching at the Russian State University for the Humanities in Moscow, which is a partner university of the University of Innsbruck.
Furthermore, he is the author of over 300 publications on the history of the Holocaust and the Eastern Front.  Many of these have been published in the United States, Israel and Western Europe. Moreover, Ilya Altman is a member of the International Council of the Austrian Service Abroad.
 
In his talk, Prof. Altman discussed the Holocaust research in Russia in general and how the theme of the Shoah is currently taught in Russian schools. He also talked about the international cooperation in the field of Holocaust research and its future perspectives, taking Austria as an example. Prof. Altman encouraged the audience to visit the exhibition "Holocaust: Extermination, Liberation, Rescue", which is shown at the University of Innsbruck (Bruno-Sander-Haus, Innrain 52f, EG, Innsbruck) from April 6 until May 3, 2019. This travelling exhibition was previously shown in Russia, Argentina, Germany, France, Israel, the Czech Republic, Uruguay and the USA.
