We are pleased to share with you a few snapshots of our 2019 Conference at the University of British Columbia, held on June 1-3, 2019. HSAC’s annual conference was characterized by dynamic panel and roundtable discussions, a joint event with McGill-Queen’s University Press exploring the book How It Happened<\/em> and new insights into the Holocaust in Hungary, as well as a special lecture on the subject. We also saw the keen participation of graduate students at this year’s conference. The papers covered a wide array of topics, from late nineteenth and early twentieth century history to memory and identity in the post-Communist period, as well as theatre, folk art, art history, and an engaging discussion on the state of art, scholarship and Hungarian studies in the contemporary world.<\/p>\n
