FREN 153 SC - Translating French Holocaust Archives

In addition to the large foundations in France which memorialize the Holocaust (and which fight antisemitism and genocide), there are also smaller, locally run organizations which recount crucial community histories and testimonies. Because these organizations often lack the resources which would allow them to present their archives in languages other than French, their global reach remains limited. This course aims to assist these small organizations by developing and employing techniques in French-toEnglish translation and by engaging in service and experiential learning. Students will offer their translation services, to facilitate the sites’ use of both French and English. This service-learning project will allow these sites to reach a wider audience, while also helping students to perfect their use of French.
