ABM Talks: Reflections on the anti-anti-Semitic Question. On Genocide and Epistemicide
Channel: Abraham Bar Menachem Talks
Date: 2022-04-12

The eleventh ABM Talk took place on February 24th, 4pm CET with Professor Elad Lapidot (Professor for Jewish Studies at the University of Lille) as the main speaker. Prof. Lapidot talked about his book “Jews Out of the Question: A Critique of Anti-Anti-Semitism” that is available in German under the title “Anti-Anti-Semitismus: Eine philosophische Kritik”.

The talk was commented on by Dr. Daniel M. Herskowitz (British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow at the Theology and Religion Faculty, University of Oxford, and Retained Lecturer in Theology at the Trinity College, University of Oxford).

The ABM Talks series is named after lawyer Dr. Abraham Bar Menachem. He was born in 1912 in Gießen-Wieseck and, after studying law, completed his doctorate in 1933 at the then Ludwigs University in Gießen. Due to his Jewish ancestry, the Nazis no longer allowed him to take the Referendarexamen. In 1938, Bar Menachem fled with his wife to Palestine, where he worked as a lawyer and was later elected mayor of the Israeli city of Netanya. Throughout his life, Bar Menachem tirelessly contributed to reconciliation between the Jewish people and Germany. It is our great honour, with the kind permission of his family, to name our lecture series after him.
