The comments, that were made by the Minister for Equal Opportunities in the Meloni government questioning school trips to Auschwitz, have reignited an old debate about the memory of the Shoah in the Italian public sphere.

Serena Di Nepi, a historian specializing in the Jewish diaspora, explains why she has never taken part in these “ Remembrance Trips,” and explores the profound disconnect between Jewish memory and national memory

For historian Omer Bartov, the memory of the Shoah has overshadowed the Nakba and contributes to the continuation of the Palestinian catastrophe: in his latest book, he seeks to place them within the same historical and moral context.

Eva Illouz examines this approach here: https://k-larevue.com/en/omer-bartov-and-the-limits-of-historical-comparison/

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has reopened a rift at the heart of Europe: what if today’s uncertainty were not just about political positions, but about the very meaning of Europe itself?

Thirty years after Rabin's assassination, what remains of the peace camp?Israeli sociologist Ilan Greilsammer recalls the objectives pursued by Rabin's policies and makes the bitter observation that the right wing has become the majority. Will the latter's negligence, revealed by October 7 and the conduct of the war in Gaza, allow the cards to be reshuffled?

Zohran Mamdani’s election as the first openly anti-Zionist mayor of New York goes beyond the boundaries of local politics. Driven by progressive youth and a segment of American Jews, his victory reveals the generational and ideological fractures of an American Judaism in the midst of an identity crisis.

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟳 𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁, by Bruno Karsenti

October 7 did not only reopen the wound of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it also revived a fault line buried in the European consciousness. The event laid bare a Europe divided between three irreconcilable narratives : the Western-oriented, the anti-colonial, and the European.

At the heart of this divide are two haunting questions: What remains of Europe if it can no longer recognize what the resurgence of antisemitism means, here and there? But also, what remains of Zionism as a European project if its response to antisemitism in terms of the rights of peoples eludes it just as much?

While the Polish state continues to systematically deny Polish responsibility for the Holocaust and engages in a continuous effort to distort memory, two eminent specialists on these issues, Jan and Katarzyna Grabowski, are sounding the alarm and calling for transparency in memory policy.

In a New York yeshiva, a young student scarred by the Six-Day War decrees that Talmudic law prohibits collateral damage. His friend, a not-so-innocent narrator, recounts the ensuing adventures, with their share of unexpected consequences. Through this novella, which reads like a coming-of-age novel, Elie Hirsch introduces us to the eccentric charm of the yeshiva world, against a backdrop of teenage misadventures.

Between staunch supporters and fierce detractors, recognition of the State of Palestine crystallizes sharply divided positions. Each side’s arguments are defensible—as long as they aim to protect both Israel’s security and the Palestinians’ right to self-determination—but the challenge here is to understand what such a gesture would actually achieve: would a declaration of principle have consequences for the future?
