Your Centre News covers a rich array of subjects, from the Haredi narrative of the Holocaust to the treatment of the sick and disabled under National Socialism, and reflections on the recent Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.

We feature the early testimonies of Holocaust survivors recorded in Yiddish and translated by Freda Hodge in Tragedy and Triumph: Early Testimonies of Jewish Survivors of World War II. In this edition, we also bring you Andy Factor’s story of escaping from Europe and building a new life in Australia centred on music, art and family. Enjoy reading all the thought-provoking articles in this first edition of Centre News for 2019.
