Abstract

ABSTRACT This article traces the evolution of Lawrence L. Langer’s career beginning as a professor of American literature followed by his transition to Holocaust literature, and eventual recognition and stature as one of the world’s foremost scholars of Holocaust literature and Holocaust video testimonies. His expertise in Holocaust art, media, and history is included. The parallel history of the founding, growth, and development of Yale University’s Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies is examined. The resulting symbiosis between Langer and the Fortunoff Video Archive, as well as the influences and contributions of both to the field of Holocaust studies is discussed.
