Talk on the Jewish Community in Malta in the Post WWII period – part of the Tayar Foundation’s Holocaust Memorial

La Valette Rotarians, Julius Nehori and Patricia Salomone, are involved in the Holocaust Memorial evening events to be held on the 27th January. We thought it would be of interest to share this event with club members who wish to join.

The main speaker for the evening will be Sir Bernard Eder KC, who was born to this family in Malta in the 1950s.  He will talk about how his family found refuge here in Malta from Vienna at the time of the Anschluss.  His talk will be illustrated by interesting photos of the time.  Members of his family will accompany him in gratitude to the Maltese people who gave their family shelter.

Another speaker will be Mr Nathaniel Calleja Gera, a historian, who will illustrate the history of the Jewish presence in Malta since Ancient Roman times and also inform us about immigration laws during WWII.

The Tayar Foundation will host the event with the support of the Embassies of the Federal Republic of Germany and the State of Israel. The Hon Dr Ian Borg, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Tourism, will give a welcoming address.

A question and answer session will follow the talks, and refreshments will be offered at the end of the event.

Entrance is free of charge.
