Den australiensiske författaren och berättaren Arnold Zable blev tillfrågad om han ville delta i programmet på den judiska kulturfestivalen i Krakow i somras, och funderade över vad han kunde tala om. Mitt under brinnande krig i Polens grannland Ukraina, och med Polens stora flyktingmottagande, kom han fram till att motstånd och uppror kunde vara ett passande tema. Som den berättare han är, valde han att berätta historier istället för att föreläsa, och han valde ut historier om motstånd som inte nödvändigtvis genomförs med hjälp av vapen.I veckans Jiddisch far alle får vi oss några av historierna till livs.

Words matter, and they have power. If they didn't, writers and poets wouldn't be persecuted and imprisoned for what they had written. Around the world, citizens are banned from saying and writing certain things. And we can all think of well-chosen, or well-written, words that have helped inspire and liberate people. Paul Barclay speaks with three prominent Australian writers.

Martin is a journalist there to write a story on the cafe’s founders Avram and Masha Zeleznikow. No sooner has he begun than Martin knows that this will be no ordinary column.

What feet did you imagine trampled on bluestone surfaces?Lanes by Helena Spyrou Lanes is a remembrance of my teenage hood where I spent a lot of time walking through the lanes of Carlton in the early 1970s.

Subscribe to the series   Podcast series Books and Ideas at Montalto  /  Australian stories Ramona Koval is one of Australia’s most loved literary figures, thanks to her many years ruling the Radio National airwaves as the host of The Book Show. She’s famous for shining the spotlight on her bookish guests, at the ABC and as the host of The Monthly’s book club. In her new book, Bloodhound, the interviewer extraordinaire gets personal, inviting us on an intimate journey to track down her father. Ramona’s parents were Holocaust survivors who resettled in Melbourne. As a child, she suspected that the man who raised her was not her biological father. In the 1990s, long after her mother’s death, she decided to discover the truth – and a phone call led to a photograph in the mail, tea with strangers, and travel that spanned a meeting with a horse whisperer in tropical Queensland, rural Poland, and a Kafkaesque bureaucracy. In conversation with Arnold Zable, discover how Ramona uncovered the truth, why it was so important to her. Arnold Zable and Ramona Koval (photo: Oren Gerassi)

Over four days, our 20 plus speakers – philosophers and theologians, historians and writers, believers and non-believers – will consider what it means to be religious, and what role the voice of faith may legitimately have in the conversations of citizens in a multicultural, democratic state and the community of nations.

Their lectures will be followed by panel discussions that open up the conversation.

He is one of the world’s most respected commentators about Israel and the Middle East conflict and has published on the subject in the New York Review of Books, the New Yorker, the Nation, Harpers and New York Times magazine.
