1949-1961 The Trauma of the Holocaust in the First Decade of Israel’s Existence

Prof. Eyal Naveh

 

This lecture will analyze the impact of the Holocaust on Israeli society. We will discuss the political implication of the events that emerged during the debate over the reparations programs, the attitude of Israeli society toward Holocaust survivors, the first trials against alleged Jewish collaborators with the Nazis and the tensions between official memory and private memory during this period.

 

The implementation of the project is possible due to the support of Nissenbaum Family Foundation.
