This week we will be screening Tod Haynes’s masterful movie

Safe (1995)

Starring Julianne Moore

The movie tells the story of Carol, a rich housewife that falls prey to a mysterious illness. It describes an interesting phenomenon called Environmental Illness but much more than that is a searing and brutal description of American society. The movie has been described as a horror movie of the soul and offers an look at various New-Age phenomena and at estrangement and lack of meaning in Western society.

An introduction lecture about the learning packet about the Nakba

This is a unique learning packet in Hebrew about the Nakba. Three years in preparation, the packet was written, designed, and assessed by teachers and by Zochrot staff. The learning packet is for the formal and informal Israeli educational system. The packet contains lessons and activities tailored to students aged 15 or older. The learning packet engages students in learning about the Nakba by first raising questions about their identities, about places in Israel that they know well, and about their own collective memory. More advanced units examine hegemonic versus silenced histories, what it means to be a refugee, and reconciliation, among other topics. In the lecture we will introduce the framework of the packet and experience a few of its activities.

Facilitator: Amaya Galili, Educational Coordinator at Zochrot Organization.

A Lecture by Uri Gordon

Thursday 30.04
20:00

Anarchist politics are at the heart of today’s most vibrant and radical social movements. From squatted social centers and community gardens to acts of sabotage and raucous summit blockades, anarchist groups and networks are spreading an ethos of direct action, non-hierarchical organizing and self-liberation that has redefined revolutionary struggle for the 21st century.

The activist and author Uri Gordon will present his new book “Anarchy Alive! – Anti-authoritarian Politics from Practice to Theory”. The talk will focus on the importance of direct action and the construction of communitarian economies in view of the global financial and ecological crises.

Uri Gordon – Born in Haifa, formerly IDF Radio reporter in the West Bank. Holds a PhD in politics from Oxford University and lectures on environmental politics and ethics at the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies.

This performance is about poetic license.”

Ezra Peri, Ora Kedem, Leo Luster and Martin Vogel return to 5 Marc Aurel st. in Vienna, where a day center, in which they were able to find some temporary refuge in the dark days of the Nazi era, was located. This center for Jewish children was established and directed by Aron Menczer, a 21 years old active member of the Gordonia youth movement and a central figure in the Youth Aliyah Organization in Vienna. He stayed in Vienna while other youth movements leaders left, following the Kristalnacht.

Aaron Menczer succeeded in saving the lives of many Jewish children. Not his own. He was sent to Theresienstadt and later on with a group of over 1000 Polish children to Auschwitz, where they all perished.
