Dear Roger

On behalf of the Jewish community of South Africa, we wish to record our outrage over the vicious assault of two Jewish worshipers outside a synagogue in Paris on Saturday evening and to assure the French Jewish community of our support and concern during this difficult time.

“The surge of far-right and anti-Semitic parties in a number of countries is a shock and a reason for great worry. European leaders must address this problem urgently and come up with a strategy to fight extremism. The future of European Jewry is a stake if these forces are not reined in.

French President François Hollande will meet world leaders at next summer’s 70th anniversary commemorations of the D-Day landings, including US President Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II and Putin.

« L'exil des musiciens européens (1939-1945) »

L’Association ProQuartet et la Médiathèque Alliance Baron Edmond de Rothschild vous proposent, dans le cadre du projet Esther, un cycle de redécouverte et de réhabilitation de compositeurs victimes des politiques d’exclusion des années 1933 à 1945. Concerts, projections, exposition, tables rondes permettront de porter un regard sur le destin de musiciens, juifs pour la plupart d’entre eux, contraints à l‘exil dans la période la plus sombre de l’histoire européenne, et d’engager une réflexion sur les questions de l’identité culturelle et de la transmission.
