Narratives by Holocaust Escapees: Ferrara, Ital

Prof Luciano Minerbi explores the narratives of escapees from the Holocaust, including himself. Philosophers such as Croce,Augustine, and Bergson help to understand these writings. But this is only a sequel to a centuries' old history of a small, self-managing Jewish community that included the Minerbi Family. They lived under the vagaries of edicts by dukes and Popes. Now the entire city is a virtual but walkable museum enshrining these searchable records. Perhaps it is able to reproduce culture for a modern civil society? Dr. Luciano Minerbi is Professor of Urban and Regional Planning at U H Manoa. The talk is free and open to the public. Please join us.
