The lecture was titled “Memory, counter-memory, and the end of the holocaust monument” which was supplemented in details by his book entitled “At memory’s edge. After-images of the holocaust in contemporary art and architecture” published by Yale University Press, 2000.

This subject is personal for me as my parents were fortunate to have left Austria after Krystallnacht but had to suffer in primitive conditions for six years in Bolivia, which is where I was born. We continue to share our discussions on this historical “phenomenon” and we, in our own ways, are concern about the current and future generations perceptions as the number of survivors are almost diminishing (including my mother who, with G-d’s help will continue to celebrate her (101st) birthday in one week!

Let’s keep reminding everyone to never repeat any of the atrocities of the Holocaust and its impact on international history.

Sincerely, Tom
