The Alfred Landecker Holocaust Memorial Lecture is hosted by the Blavatnik School of Government each year to mark United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day.
This year’s lecture, given by author and journalist Jonathan Freedland, centres on the story of one of the few Jewish prisoners ever to break out of Auschwitz and his attempts to alert the world to the horrors there, and asks how we can build institutions that ensure the world never experiences such atrocities again.
The lecture is chaired by Ngaire Woods, Dean of the Blavatnik School of Government and Professor of Global Economic Governance at Oxford University. Jonathan’s lecture is followed by a moderated Q&A session and a drinks reception.
Jonathan Freedland is an award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster. He writes a weekly column for The Guardian and is the presenter of BBC Radio 4’s contemporary history series, The Long View. Jonathan is the author of the award-winning The Escape Artist: The Man Who Broke Out of Auschwitz to Warn the World, along with several thrillers under the pseudonym Sam Bourne. He is a past winner of an Orwell prize for journalism.
