VORTRAG: 60 Jahre deutsch-israelische diplomatische Beziehungen

In the organizer's words:

May 14 | 7 p.m. | Location: Synagogue Community Cologne | Lecture and discussion

Dr. Mordechai Lewy grew up in Tiberias. In 1958, he moved with his family to Berlin, where his father worked as a doctor at the Jewish Hospital. In 1963, the family returned to Israel and settled in Jerusalem. Lewy studied history in Jerusalem and then joined the diplomatic service of the Israeli Foreign Ministry. His career took him via Bonn, Stockholm, Berlin, Thailand and Jerusalem to the UN General Assembly in New York. From 2004 to 2008, he was Special Advisor to the Mayor of Jerusalem for the religious affairs of the Christian and Muslim communities in the Holy City. In May 2008, he became Israeli Ambassador to the Holy See.

During this time, his statements on the historically controversial assessment of the Vatican's conduct during the arrest and deportation of Roman Jews by the German occupying forces in 1943 attracted international attention.
