This study examines the representation of Holocaust memory through photographs on the social media platforms of Flickr and Instagram.

Undergraduate Theses
“Home” is a personal construct that shapes who we are. It is not a physical place, but rather an experience tied to a place. How are people to respond, then, when the socio-political institutions that rule the land that they call home say “you’re not allowed to exist because of who you are and where you come from”?
