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.
