The Alfred Landecker Memorial Lecture : Escaping the Holocaust

The Alfred Landecker Holocaust Memorial Lecture is hosted by the Blavatnik School of Government each year to mark United Nations Holocaust Remembrance Day.

This year’s lecture, given by author and journalist Jonathan Freedland, centres on the story of one of the few Jewish prisoners ever to break out of Auschwitz and his attempts to alert the world to the horrors there, and asks how we can build institutions that ensure the world never experiences such atrocities again.

I am a DPhil candidate in Political Theory at Magdalen College, researching work, labour, and critical theory. My thesis is titled What's wrong with work? The Frankfurt School on labour, leisure, and human happiness. My research seeks to reconstruct the first-generation Frankfurt School's understandings of work, drawing on intellectual history, critical theory, the history of political thought, and continental philosophy.
