70 • 2012 OAH/NCPH Annual Meeting • Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Marty Blatt, Boston National Historical Park Help celebrate the best in public history! The annual awards ceremony provides a look at some of the most innovative work and admirable accomplishments in the profession today. NCPH President Marty Blatt’s presidential address will examine “Holocaust Memory and Germany.” In 2011, Blatt traveled to Heidelberg, Germany, with his mother to participate in their program for former Jewish citizens. Subsequently, he wrote about this experience in The Public Historian. In 2011, he again participated in the Heidelberg program, this time with his twelve-year-old daughter. His talk will explore the dynamics of the 2011 reunion and ongoing efforts in Germany to commemorate the Holocaust. The NCPH Business Meeting, the awards program, and the Presidential Address are open to all conference registrants, though a ticket is required for the breakfast buffet. Attendees without tickets will be admitted after the meal has begun and are welcome to seats in the back or sides of the room.
