75th Anniversary of the Seelisberg Conference - 75 Years of ICCJ

When the Seelisberg conference took place in 1947, Europe was devastated by WW2 and all its horrific consequences. In this context, Jewish and Christian theologians gathered in Switzerland for an "International Emergency Conference on Antisemitism".

 

The courage displayed by the participants must inspire us all to pursue our work in particular in these trying times.

Seelisberg is known largely for its “Ten Theses,” and for the founding of the ICCJ. Hence, the ICCJ is going to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Seelisberg conference in the following months by a series of activities:

  • As an opening a webinar about Jules Isaac, entitled "The Jewish Conscience behind the Ten Theses of Seelisberg" was held on March 20, 2022. A recording of the webinar with Dr Norman Tobias (Canada) as speaker and moderated by ICCJ President Liliane Apotheker (France) is available online:
