Book: Ilana

Title: Beyond Bias – creating cultures of acceptance

Summary: Along with the lasting consequences of the Holocaust, Jewish history integrates a big picture of spirituality, survival and a celebration of diversity.

I am the Professional and Community Education Coordinator at Sydney Jewish Museum.

I would like to talk to people about:

• my identity as a religious minority from a culture that I subscribe to only partially
• my work in the area of moving beyond personal biases to cultures of acceptance
• my work with Holocaust survivors and learning from history’s lessons and warnings
• transference of trauma to second and third generations
• celebrating cultural and racial differences and learning to embrace diversity instead of marginalising those who are different to ourselves.
