Join us for this webinar as Emeritus Professor Colin Shindler examines the writings of Menahem Begin.
Menahem Begin fled Poland as the Nazis entered in September 1939. He reached Lithuania, but was then arrested when the Soviets invaded a year later and transported to the Gulag. This talk will also discuss the plight of the tens of thousands of Polish Jews who were sent into the USSR in the mass deportation of June 1940. Like numerous Polish Jews, he was able to leave with Polish military forces - once Stalin had joined the Allies, following Hitler's invasion of the USSR.
This online lecture is being held in conjunction with Mandelbaum House and Sydney University's Department of Hebrew, Biblical and Jewish Studies.
