## Historian Enzo Traverso to give a lecture about the Gaza war in Universitat de València’s Paranimf

Italian historian and one of the most remarkable international academics of the moment, memory politics and totalitarianism expert Enzo Traverso will give a lecture named “Gaza against the history: zionism, antisemitism and colonialism” next Thursdar 28 November at 20:00 in Universitat de València’s Paranimf.

The act will be presented by the UV principal ***Maria Vicenta Mestre*** and the event will be ***of free access until no more seats are available***. Traverso is a ***Humanities Chairman*** in ***Cornell University*** (Ithaca, New York), and he will share his thoughts on the history of the Gaza conflict and its connection with the historic process of antisemitism and colonialism.

Traverso will adress concepts to read the Gaza wat, which reflect on belonging and abuse. To the historian, words aren’t neutral, so evoking memories of the Holocaust to justify genocide in the present days startles him and makes him want to intervene. Enzo Traverso will reflect on the consequences of this war for history awareness and collective memory, among other matters.
