Yoram Lubling, professor of philosophy and author of the recent book, “Twice-Dead: Moshe Y. Lubling, the Ethics of Memory, and the Treblinka Revolt,” will celebrate the Hebrew translation of the book at a special ceremony Oct. 21 at the Ghetto Fighters' Museum in Israel.
Moshe Y. Lubling was Yoram Lubling’s grandfather, and Yoram will deliver a talk at the event on Moshe’s role as spiritual leader of the prisoner revolt in 1943 at the Nazi death camp at Treblinka. Yoram Lubling will also participate in interviews and TV programs during his 10-day trip to Israel.
Lubling is a native of Israel and a former art critic for Davar, Israel’s Labor newspaper. He is the author of numerous book chapters and journal articles on classical American philosophy, as well as Holocaust studies, Jewish philosophy, and the history of Modern Zionism.
In his 2007 book, Yoram Lubling uncovered the truth about the heroic life and death of Moshe Lubling, correcting the belief of some historians that the revolt was a historic act of self-preservation by the prisoners. Instead, Yoram Lubling found that the revolt at Treblinka was a carefully designed act of Nekama (revenge) led by a small group of courageous prisoners who began their conspiracy from the day the camp started its operations.
