“‘To Me Belongeth Vengeance and Recompence’ - A Major Post-Holocaust Revenge Attempt”
A group of fifty young survivors, mostly partisans and ghetto fighters under the leadership of Abba Kovner, tried to kill six million Germans for the six million Jews they killed during the Holocaust. This lecture will discuss the context in which the group crystalized and acted, unfold their story and the reaction of the Zionist leadership, and deal with the ethical and national issues involved.

“The Working Definition of Antisemitism and the Debate around its Evolution and Implications”
The Working Definition of Antisemitism (WDA) was first adopted in 2005 and was re-adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) in 2016. While the adoption process continued, with up to 900 adopting entities worldwide today, criticism was not late in coming. The short text of the WDA will be read and analyzed, and its implications will be discussed.
