Please join us for the 2018 Lorry I. Lokey Lecture featuring Dr. Aviva Halamish of the Open University of Israel titled, “Not What You Think: The Role of the Holocaust in the Establishment of Israel”
Contemplate and confront the widely accepted assumption that the Holocaust had a decisive influence on the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.
Explore questions like: Is there a link between the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel? Who promotes this claim? What really happened and how did the Holocaust impact the process of establishing a Jewish state in Palestine?
This event is made possible thanks to the generous support of Lorry I. Lokey. Cosponsored by the Oregon Jewish Museum and Center for Holocaust Education and the Middle East Studies Center.
Ruth Lindemann: Speaker, Author, Child survivor of the Holocaust.
Ruth will discuss and answer questions about the book she wrote, “To Survive is not Enough” which is based on the many stories she has heard from Holocaust survivors. She also tells what life was like for a Jewish child in fascist Austria.
This event is sponsored by Next Generations Group and Portland Hadassah.
