Memorial’s Undoing is about the murder of 33,771 Jews over two days in 1941 at Babyn Yar, Ukraine—one terrible mass killing in the “Holocaust of Bullets.” Dr. Laskin’s documentary explores tensions around the concept of memorials, and poses additional critical questions, which he’ll discuss with the audience. The film negotiates the complex terrain between the past that refuses to be contained as history and a future always striving to be realized in the now.

Dr. Laskin is currently working as a National Endowment for the Humanities Project Director. For the past decade he has served as an Andrew W. Mellon post-doctoral fellow, media historian, and film professor. His films are shown internationally. He lives in Helena with his family.
