A public dialogue with Amos Goldberg (Holocaust historian) and Bashir Bashir (Palestinian political philosopher), co-authors of a book that proposes a “new grammar of memory,” bringing into relation asymmetric and incommensurable traumas — the Shoah and the Nakba — without reducing them to competition or equivalence. The discussion asks whether and how memory can become a political space of mutual recognition and narrative justice. Alongside scholarly essays, the volume also features contributions by writers and artists who translate this reflection on memory into creative languages, expanding the dialogue between research and cultural practice — a connection that lies at the heart of JERUS-IT-ARTS. The Shoah–Nakba encounter is presented as a conceptual model for rethinking public memory in conflict settings, showing how divergent histories may coexist in civic space without cancelling each other.
Organised by JERUS-IT-ARTS.
