The Mobilization of Memory: Activating an Emergency Response in Crisis

What is the relationship between memory and action? Can we harness collective memory of past traumas to mobilize large-scale response in times of crisis? What role does self-perception play in how we debate responses in crisis?

Hear from Jewish leaders in North America and Israel at the forefront of the relief and response effort for the crisis in Ukraine about how they are activating memory to mobilize large-scale collective action.

This program took place on Thursday, April 28, 2022 and was part of Jewish Memory and this Moral Moment, a conference and commemoration on Yom HaShoah 5782.
