African American dramatists have often used theatrical productions to explore themes such as alienation, love, feminism, rage, sexism, classism, racism and a desire to assimilate into American culture.

Postmemory, a term coined by Marianne Hirsch, describes the “memories” post-Holocaust generations inherit through stories, images, and behaviors they grew up with. These “memories”, which have been passed onto them, often unconsciously, through the generations carry on the traumas lived through by their parents and grandparents. Now more than 70 years following the Shoah, the second and third-generation continue to grapple with the profound loss of their families, the collective Jewish consciousness, and their relationship to the Holocaust. By looking at the visual art, film, and writing of the postgeneration, we will come to know more intimately both the struggle and the healing, put in motion by the postgeneration.

You don't have to be an expert to have an opinion though, you just have to develop your visual skills and learn how to express what you see. You will share your views in a group with an experienced professional photographer as your teacher and improve your English conversation skills at the same time.
