Join us on January 29 from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at BU Hillel (213 Bay State Road) for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Terezin Music Foundation director Mark Ludwig will discuss how the music of Jewish composers in the Terezin concentration camp showed resistance against the Holocaust. How does the propaganda war staged by the Nazis relate to the rise of antisemitism today? What lessons can we learn? Music from Terezin will be performed. This event will occur in person and online via a live Zoom webinar. The program is co-sponsored by Boston University’s Elie Wiesel Center for Jewish Studies, AJC New England, and the Consulate General of Israel to New England and supported by the Jewish Cultural Endowment of Boston University and BU Hillel.
