Every November 27th is established as International Holocaust Remembrance Day by the United Nations. In the Afternoon of January 14th, Professor Gideon Greif, the chief historian of Israeli Holocaust Research Institute gives a lecture on The Basic Information and Facts on Israeli Holocaust in SASS for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The lecture is hosted by Guo Xiaoming, Vice President of SASS. Mr. Amir Laty, Consul General of Israel in Chengdu, and Prof. LiHouqiang, Party Secretary of SASS, make addresses separately. Guests attending the lecture include consul generals and vice consul generals of the United States, Israel, Germany, Poland, Singapore and Thailand in Chengdu and nearly 100 research fellows from research institutes and Israeli Research Center of SASS.
The lecture of Professor Gideon Greif is very touching and thought –provoking. He reviews Nazi Germany’s anti-Semitic activities and discloses the ferocity of Nazi Germany through historical materials and data like The Diary of A Young Girl and Crystal Night, which alerts everybody to cherish the present and pursuit peace. The interactions between Prof. Gideon Greif and audience are fervent.
Guo Xiaoming summarizes that it is a profound, valuable and meaningful lecture to remind us to remember and rethink history and avoid tragedy. China and Israel both have ancient civilization and similar historical experiences and in future the two countries should pay more attention to strengthen the cooperation and exchange in every field and work together to create a better tomorrow.
