“Myth and Reality in the History of Romanian Jews. The 20th Century”. International conference at Tel Aviv University. 6-7.11.2011
After the fall of communism, Romania experienced a resurrection of Jewish
studies, a topic that used to be taboo previous to 1990. Various academic
centers were opened for the study of Jewish history and culture (BA and MA),
and many young people opted for this specialization, including their choice
of PhD topics.
The conference organized by the Romanian Cultural Institute in Tel Aviv, the
Goren-Goldstein Diaspora Research Center, Tel Aviv University and A.M.I.R
(United Organization of Romanian Jews in Israel) aims at bringing to the
attention of the young Israeli audience topics less frequented in Romanian
and Israeli historiography, concerning the common history of the Jewish
community in Romania, and the community of Romanian-born Israelis,
respectively.
The participants are specialists in history and sociology from universities
and research institutes in the USA (Radu Ioanid), Romania (Adrian Cioflâncă,
Anca Ciuciu, Damiana Oțoiu, Andrei Muraru) and Israel (Raphael Vago, Leon
Volovici, Zvi Hartman, Alexander Avraham, Ronit Fisher, Gabriel Gurman).
The conference is aimed at academics and students, specialized public and
the long-time friends of ICR TA.
Free entrance. English language.
