The Legacy of Yehuda Bauer
Jewish Book Week 2025
| Speaker | Ruth Anne Lenga |
|---|---|
| Chair | Trudy Gold |
Historians Ruth-Anne Lenga and Trudy Gold discuss the life and career of the eminent Holocaust scholar, Yehuda Bauer.
I come from a people who gave the Ten Commandments to the world. Time has come to strengthen them by three additional ones: thou shalt not be a perpetrator; though shalt not be a victim; and thou shalt never, but never, be a bystander.
Yehuda Bauer, who passed away in October aged 98, was considered by many to be the world’s leading Holocaust scholar. A longtime advisor to Yad Vashem and one of the key authors of the 2000 Stockholm Declaration, he wrote over 40 books and was awarded the Israel Prize. Ruth-Anne Lenga, Associate Professor at UCL’s Centre for Holocaust Education and Bauer’s niece by marriage, joins historian Trudy Gold to reflect on his life and career.
This event will last approximately 1 hour, without an interval.
