The Past Re-examined: Jürgen Tampke at Melbourne Jewish Book Week

Join Jürgen Tampke, author of A Perfidious Distortion of History, with Winton Higgins for their thought-provoking discussion The Past Re-examined.

How do events which have been exhaustively researched in the past hold up under contemporary scrutiny? Jurgen Tampke and Winton Higgins both academics who have written books on European history, in different times and formats, analyse new ways of considering and interpreting key moments of early 20th century history. Chaired by Tony Kevin.

This session is supported by Joseph and Rose Reich.
