[Harvard] Goldstone Report? Wave the Holocaust!

Apparently in order to follow up the effort of Harvard Students for Israel to mobilize against Iran, Harvard Hillel is going to engage in some Holocaustery to distract from the Goldstone Report.

Dinner Discussion with Dr. Andreas Maislinger

When: Wed, 10/28/2009 5:00pm - 7:00pm

Where: Rabb Hall, Harvard Hillel

Dr. Andreas Maislinger is an Austrian political science professor and also the founder of the Austrian Holocaust Memorial Service, which is a civil-service alternative to the national military service that trains and sends abroad Austrians to staff Holocaust museums and memorials worldwide. After having worked at Hebrew University, Dr. Maislinger also created the first German language seminar at Yad Vashem back in the 1990s.This November, he'll be in Los Angeles to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum.

Dr. Maislinger will be leading a dinner discussion related to the Holocaust. Feel free to grab dinner a few minutes early from the Hillel dining hall (it's free on the undergrad meal plan!) and join us for what promises to be a fascinating conversation!

This event is cosponsored by Harvard Hillel and the Harvard Center for European Studies Undergraduate Board. Questions? Contact Samuel Milner (smilner13@college)

I try to keep my mind open about this stuff, but I have yet to attend one of these events that either

• honestly contextualized the Holocaust within the history of Jewish criminality and violence in Central and Eastern Europe or
• forthrightly discussed the continuity of this history with Zionist barbarism generally ideologically more advanced than German Nazism.
  

Instead these events tend both

• to rationalize the theft of Palestine from the native population and also
• to engage in unbridled Arab or Muslim bashing.
