Public lecture presented by Professor David Weinberg, PhD, Professor Emeritus at Bowling Green State University and Wayne State University.
The lecture will examine the fate of the Jews of western Europe in the decade and a half after World War II. It will briefly focus on a series of significant internal and external challenges facing the Jews of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands after 1945, including: the physical and material rehabilitation of survivors; the need to restructure communal institutions; the impact of the creation of the State of Israel; the reemergence of anti-Semitism and the struggle to control public memory of the war; the crisis of the Cold War; and the crisis of Jewish identity among survivors. In responding to these challenges, the three communities were able to reassert themselves as a distinctive voice in world Jewry.
