The Safe Space is a series of workshops developed by the JCC
and JCORE and led by people who work in the fields of immigration
and asylum. Come along, get involved and join the discussion.
Putting Memory into Action
When she was 20, Helen Bamber OBE went with the Jewish Relief Unit to Belsen Camp, shortly after its liberation, to help distribute clothes, food and medicine. Since then she has worked tirelessly in the field of human rights, helping thousands of survivors worldwide. A founder member of Amnesty International, and of the Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture, and now co-founding Director of The Helen Bamber Foundation, she talks with Consultant Psychotherapist Isca Salzberger Wittenberg about putting memory into action. This event was postponed last season.
Asylum in Israel
Over the past year Israel has been dealing
with the challenge of asylum in a way that it has never had
to before. Hundreds of survivors of the genocide in Darfur
have been flooding over the Egyptian-Israeli border. As a country
famous for its integration of people from all over the world
and one which has had to deal with the legacy of the Holocaust,
the situation presents a complex challenge to the state. Ellen
Goldberg, director of the New Israel Fund UK, Lisa
Richlen, Associate Director for Resource Development
of the Migrant Worker’s Hotline in Israel and Nikki
Levitan, volunteer with Bnei Darfur in Israel, will
be in conversation with David Brown from the
Aegis Trust, discussing the differences and similarities in
the way the UK and the State of Israel are dealing with asylum
seekers from Darfur and considering whether Israel has a unique
responsibility to these people.
