Living with the Holocaust: Featuring Tom Segev

Living with the Holocaust: Featuring Tom Segev

The Holocaust Living History Workshop Series presents eminent Israeli historian and journalist, Tom Segev, who is known for his fearless examination of Israel’s history and tortured attempts to come to terms with the Holocaust. Born in Jerusalem to parents who had fled Nazi Germany, Segev is a leading figure among the so-called New Historians, who has challenged many of the Israel’s traditional narratives or “founding myths.” His books include, The Seventh Million: the Israelis and the Holocaust (2000); One Palestine Complete: Jews and Arabs under the British Mandate (2000); 1967: Israel, the War, and the Year That Transformed the Middle East (2006); and Simon Wiesenthal: The Life and Legends (2010). A reception will be held at 4:30pm, and the presentation starts at 5:30pm. The event, co-sponsored by the UC San Diego Library and the UC San Diego Jewish Studies Program, is free but reservations are requested. Please RSVP at: HLHWTomSegev.eventbrite.com. Special thanks to our generous supporters, Michelle & Bill Lerach and Jeffrey & Marcy Krinsk. For more information about the Holocaust Living History Workshop, visit lib.ucsd.edu/HLHW.
