Article by Professor Dan Michman on the relationship between the Holocaust and other genocides, followed by coverage of Rabbi James Kennard’s presentation on the uniqueness of the Holocaust

Our April 2014 edition of Centre News includes a plethora of interesting articles, among them a fascinating piece by Professor Dan Michman on the relationship between the Holocaust and other genocides, followed by coverage of Rabbi James Kennard’s presentation on the uniqueness of the Holocaust, delivered  at the ‘Betty and Shmuel Rosenkranz Oration: Commemorating the 75^th Anniversary of Kristallnacht.’  The journal also includes an insightful and detailed essay by Dr Gideon Greif titled ‘The Sonderkommando in Auschwitz-Birkenau: The Dearth Factory’s squad of Jewish Workers.’  As this year marks the 3oth anniversary of the establishment of the Melbourne Holocaust Museum, there are several references in this issue to the history of the MHM and to the Centre’s  future direction.
