Liliane Weissberg Awarded USC Shoah Foundation Rutman Teaching Fellowship

Christopher H. Browne Distinguished Professor in Arts and Sciences Liliane Weissberg has been awarded the University of Southern California (USC) Shoah Foundation 2015-16 Rutman Teaching Fellowship. Each year, the Spielberg Foundation awards the fellowship to a Penn faculty member to teach about the Holocaust. The award was established by Penn alumna Lori Rutman Fife, C'80, in honor of her parents. As a fellow, Weissberg, a professor of German and comparative literature, will learn how to integrate the USC Shoah Foundation’s Visual History Archive into her research and teaching, especially in her upcoming course “Witnessing, Remembering, and Writing the Holocaust.”
