OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
OxHMD22 - Book Talk: Lily’s Promise: How I Survived Auschwitz and Found the Strength to Live
Status: This talk is in preparation - details may change
This event will be on either 6 or 13 February - to be confirmed
When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert showed her great grandson Dov Forman a bank note she was given after liberation, he started an online search via social media and successfully tracked down the soldier who gave it to her. Their reunion 75 years later captured imaginations across the country and was widely covered in television, newspapers and radio. They have since written a book together, published by Macmillan in 2021, sharing both Lily’s memories and Dov’s journey of discovery. Here, we hear from them about their book and their experiences.
