Israel's 'Image War' (Zoom)In today's conflicted reality, the question is not only whose army wins, but also whose story wins – or in other words which side is perceived as the just side. Wars today are no longer taking place only on the battlefield; alongside the military confrontation there is an image war occurring, in which each side tries to present its ideas, values and action as justified in order to receive international support. Dr. Moran Yarchi, head of Diplomacy program at Reichman University, Hertzliya, Israel, will give a presentation on the reality in which the image front plays a crucial role, focusing on recent events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Jewish Book Discussion GroupMay
14: The Book Smugglers: Partisans, Poets, and the Race to Save Jewish
Treasures from the Nazis, by David Fishman
The Book Smugglers is the
nearly unbelievable story of ghetto residents who rescued thousands of rare
books and manuscripts―first from the Nazis and then from the Soviets―by hiding
them on their bodies, burying them in bunkers, and smuggling them across
borders. It is a tale of heroism and resistance, of friendship and romance, and
of unwavering devotion―including the readiness to risk one’s life―to literature
and art. And it is entirely true. Based on Jewish, German, and Soviet
documents, The Book Smugglers chronicles the daring activities of a
group of poets turned partisans and scholars turned smugglers in Vilna, “The
Jerusalem of Lithuania.” The rescuers were pitted against Johannes Pohl, a Nazi
who had been dispatched to Vilna by the Nazi looting agency, Einsatzstab
Reichsleiter Rosenberg, to organize the seizure of the city’s great collections
of Jewish books. The Nazis planned to ship the most valuable materials to
Germany and incinerate the rest. They used forty ghetto inmates as
slave-laborers to sort, select, pack, and transport the materials. This group,
nicknamed “the Paper Brigade,” defied their captors and smuggled thousands of
books and manuscripts past German guards. In July 1944, with the Soviet
“liberation” of Vilna, the Paper Brigade thought themselves and their precious
cultural treasures saved―only to learn that their new masters were no more
welcoming toward Jewish culture than the old, and the books must now be
smuggled out of the USSR. The Book Smugglers is an epic story of human
heroism, a little-known tale from the blackest days of the war. Discussion led
by Susan Rojo-Firsty. We are excited to be back in person for Book Discussion Group! Please read the following rules carefully:
