Final day of the August Seminar.

10.30am - 12.30pm
The Work of the Holocaust Memorial Museum. Are the huge resources sunk into the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington a waste of money or an investment in the future? What does the Holocaust Memorial Museum aim to achieve and what does it think it has achieved? With Stephen Feinberg (Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum).

1.30pm - 3.00pm
American Jewry: Analysis of where American Jewry will be in 2020. Looking at major trends. Should the future of American Jewry give us hope or bring us down? Stephen will give us a rich insight into the current directions and the likely outcomes for American Jews over the coming decade. US Jewry is the largest in the world as well as the most prosperous. Is it spinning off in a completely separate direction to the rest of the world or will it give us a clearer insight into where we are all heading? With Stephen Feinberg (Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum).

3.15pm - 4.30pm
So Have we got a Future? Drawing together all the threads of the week as well as adding their own particular takes on the issue, our senior educators and leading contributors to this seminar will take an overview and either depress us or send us marching hopefully into the future. Closing session with Trudy Gold, Clive Lawton & Stephen Feinberg (Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum).
