The Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) hopes a new Israeli cabinet will “work constructively” to achieve the extradition of alleged child abuser Malka Leifer and that “those alleged to have interfered to prevent her extradition play no further part in the process. Online shopping platforms eBay Australia and Amazon Australia have announced they are removing Nazi-related items from their websites, such as an antisemitic Hitler Youth handbook on offer on eBay and other Nazi era books that appeared on Amazon Australia. A redesigned Holocaust exhibition at the Australian War Memorial, originally opened in 2016, as The Holocaust: Witnesses and Survivors exhibition, was unveiled by the Federal Treasurer, himself a son of a Holocaust survivor mother from Hungary. Announcements: PLAY: LAST WORDS by Joseph Sherman: Playing till tonight the 8th March, 2020 at 7.45PM at the Kadimah and co-presented by the Kadimah and the Jewish Holocaust Centre. “What remains when our memory is lost?” Joseph Sherman’s compelling and critically acclaimed one-actor, one-musician play explores a son’s attempt to rescue fragments of his parents’ life story, from Odessa in the former Soviet Union to their life in Australia and the oblivion of their Alzheimer’s disease. Don’t miss it - this is great theatre, at the Kadimah in English, Russian and a bit of Yiddish too.
