In November 2005 the General Assembly of the United Nations resolved to designate 27 January as an annual International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust. Australia co- sponsored this important resolution, which urges people of all nations to remember and learn from the tragic events of that period and to commit to educating current and future generations about the dangers of racism, prejudice and xenophobia. Australians will never forget the unmitigated evil which led to the murder of six million Jews and countless thousands of others in Nazi concentration camps. I am proud of the fact that Australia and in particular Melbourne was to become home for many Holocaust survivors. I commend the Melbourne Holocaust Centre for organizing this commemoration. MANY RELIGIONS, VICTIMS & OTHERS COMMEMORATE CENTRE'S UN HOLOCAUST DAY They came from different religions, from all discrimination, oppression, bigotry and hate. walks of life, from Jewish Holocaust victims and Indeed, as we observe the date of the camp’s victims other than Jews, to join the crowded liberation – and as cited in the U.N. resolution - we are main hall at the Holocaust Centre on January reminded that, along with Jewish people of all 28, to commemorate United Nations nationalities, minorities in general were also targeted International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

All in the name of security for the Third Reich. More than 250 people crowded the main hall to hear And so I come to the question posed by the theme a message read from Prime Minister John Howard; many of this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day - “What has the speakers including keynote ones: The Most Reverend world learnt?” In recent memory acts of genocide or Christopher Prowse, Catholic Archbishop of Melbourne mass murder have occurred in Rwanda, in Bosnia and and George Lekakis, Chairman of the Victorian elsewhere.

Ranging from philosemitic fantasies through to longstanding anti-Jewish caricatures, understanding how Jews have been ‘imagined’ across time and place can shed new light on both historic and contemporary views of Jews and Judaism. This conference seeks to focus on these imaginings and asks how they have shaped views about Jews within and beyond the Jewish world, over time and in the present. Further, it asks how the creation of these ‘Jewish imaginaries’ has influenced how Jews think about themselves and their own societies. Where have these ideas about Jews, their origins, culture and influence crossed over into Jewish thought and writing and what has been its effect? We look forward to two days of thought-provoking presentations and discussions focussed on these vital and enduring questions.
