Samantha McLaughlin, Communications Coordinator at Remember the Women Institute, was recently featured on an episode of “Bearing Witness: The Impact of Memorialization.”In this podcast series produced by Andrew W. Mellon Fellow Dr. Stephanie Arel and award-winning documentary filmmaker Jessica Daugherty, each episode features a museum or memorial employee who discusses how their work at historically significant sites impacts their community and society at large. The podcast continues Dr. Arel’s research and is a companion to her book Bearing Witness: The Wounds of Mass Trauma at Memorial Museums (Fortress Press, forthcoming).
McLaughlin is featured in the podcast’s final episode, in which she discusses how her career began with an internship at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, Poland. She shares more about her dedication to the preservation of Holocaust memory and how her work in the field has evolved.
