Bridging Divides: Hope in Shared Narratives

Acclaimed British historian Sir Simon Schama reflects on the history of antisemitism, the Holocaust and contemporary culture. He says that for millennia Jewish people have been "the other of convenience. We are the dark mirror in which the wish fulfilment of other societies takes it out on people who are said to represent its opposite."

Presented at the Adelaide Writers Festival in partnership with the University of Sydney.
