Temple Shalom of Medford Yom HaShoah

Yom HaShoah - Holocaust Remembrance Day Sunday, April 27, 2013 In

commemoration of Yom HaShoah Temple Shalom's  invites you to a talk by
Professor Nancy Harrowitz
Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi, among the
most important voices to come out of the Holocaust,
answer this question by urging us to consider the after effects of
genocide and what dehumanization means to the human spirit and to
civilization. They ask difficult and penetrating questions that make us

reflect on the human condition in profound, unsettling,
yet ultimately enlightening ways. This talk will address the importance
of the memory work we find in Levi and Wiesel and its significance to
us, more than 60 years later.

The
talk will be preceded by minyan and a short Yom HaShoah

remembrance service. Light refreshments will follow.

 Nancy
Harrowitz teaches Italian literature and Holocaust studies at Boston

University, where she is the Chair of the Department of Romance Studies

and on the teaching faculty of the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic
Studies.
