Carleton University\u2019s\u00a0Zelikovitz Centre for Jewish Studies hosted \u201cIf Not Now, When? Responsibility and Memory After the Holocaust”, a\u00a0public conference in recognition of Canada\u2019s assumption of the Chair of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (formerly the ITF) \u00a0held April 24 and 25, 2013.<\/p>\n

The conference\u2019s opening title \u201cIf Not Now, When?\u201d references one of the most well known ethical aphorisms from the Jewish tradition. It signals the conference\u2019s focus on responsibility and memory after the Shoah as not only a question for the Jewish people, but for the whole world.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I am not for myself, then who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, then what am I? And if not now, when?\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u2013Rabbi Hillel the Elder, Pirkei Avot \/ Ethics of the Fathers 2:4<\/em><\/p>\n

This urgent call to responsibility for self may not be delayed. Thus this key refrain was heard throughout the conference as we brought together parliamentarians, survivors, scholars and community leaders to remember and reflect critically on the painful lessons of the Shoah.<\/p>\n

The purpose of this conference was to bring together Canadian parliamentarians, senior Holocaust studies scholars, survivors and other public figures around the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance\u2019s (formerly ITF) mandate of remembrance, education and research. \u00a0As per our hope, this conference generated further public\u00a0discourse\u00a0on the importance of Holocaust education and the preservation of Holocaust memory.<\/p>\n
