Westside : Holocaust Lectures Set
The University of Judaism and the Jewish Federation Council’s Martyrs Memorial and Museum of the Holocaust are sponsoring a series of lectures and films on the Holocaust.
Titled “Thinking about the Unthinkable,” the talks are intended to “reconsider whether the time-honored disciplines of history, philosophy and theology, psychology and literature have anything to tell us about this dark chapter of human history,” a statement by the organizers said.
Speakers include authors, philosophers, film makers, a rabbi and a psychologist, who will deal with the impact of the killing of 6 million Jews and others by Germany’s Nazi regime during World War II.
The talks will be held on Tuesday evenings at the University of Judaism campus on Mulholland Drive, starting Oct. 24, for a fee of $15 a session or $105 for all eight.
Four films, sponsored by the consulate general of West Germany, will be shown for free on successive Thursday evenings starting Oct. 26 at the Jewish Community Building, 6505 Wilshire Boulevard.
