The Rise and Fall of the Hugo Valentin Center
The Hugo Valentin Center (HVC) was co-founded by historian Paul A. Levine at Uppsala University. It was not only a milestone in Levine’s career but also one of defining institutions in the entire field of Holocaust studies and education in Sweden. Its significance is well-documented and widely recognized.
After Levine’s passing, the Initiative “Paul A. Levine Library” requested that HVC place a commemorative plaque in his honor at the institution. The response? A curt dismissal: “We do not plan…”
Now, we can see what their plans look like in the Haaretz-article by Swedish journalist David Stavrou Kay.
