The IOE’s Centre for Holocaust Education is hosting a special event on Thursday 4th December from 5.30-7.30pm at the Institute of Education.
In her book “Eichmann in Jerusalem” the philosopher Hanna Arendt wrote the following: “Where ever Jews lived, there were recognized Jewish leaders, and this leadership, almost without exception, cooperated in one way or another, for one reason or another, with the Nazis. The whole truth was that if the Jewish people had really been unorganised and leaderless, there would have been chaos and plenty of misery but the total number of victims would hardly have been between four and half and six million people”.
The workshop and discussion, led by Yiftach Meiri, will look into Arendt’s assumption and into the work and decisions made by the different Councils focusing mainly on occupied Poland.
