26 October @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Join us for a talk and walkabout of the exhibition More Important than Life: The Underground Archive of the Warsaw Ghetto with Dr Mirjam Zadoff, director of the Munich Documentation Centre for the History of National Socialism and co-curator of the exhibition.
The event will be accompanied by the formal awarding of Decoration of Honour in Gold for services to the Republic of Austria to director and founder of the JHGC, Tali Nates, as well as formal remarks from the Ambassador of Austria to South Africa, H.E. Ms Romana Königsbrun, and a musical performance by the Austrian Duo Minerva beginning at 16:00.
More Important Than Life explores some of the artefacts and documents collected in the Warsaw Ghetto by the Oneg Shabbat, a collective of academics, writers, and activists led by historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who worked secretly to document the mass murder of European Jews as it was happening.
