Sunday 29 April at 8 pm 'Memory, History, Museums and the Holocaust' by Professor Haim Marantz, Department of Philosophy, Ben Gurion University of the Negev. The central concept stems from the idea posed by French historian Pierre Nora that 'Memory is life' and that there exists a strong relationship between memory and history. He claims that memory 'resurrects', 'recycles', and makes the past 'reappear' and live again in the present.
Tuesday 24 July at 8 pm The Impact of the Holocaust on Jewish & Christian Theology by Cardinal Idris Edward Cassidy, Rev Tim Costello and Rabbi Fred Morgan. Did God also die in Auschwitz or have our definitions of God changed since the Holocaust? Do Christians view Jews differently in the post-Holocaust era? These questions and more will be debated by our panel of religious leaders.
The lectures will be at 13-15 Selwyn St., Elsternwick. Entry $10, conc. $7. Bookings are essential. Phone 9528 1985 or email admin@jhc.org.au.
