The Aladdin Project

ALADDIN Project showcased in the SAFE workshop, France

The initiative was so named because Aladdin, both as a Middle Eastern folk tale and a name, is shared by different cultures and thus symbolizes an intercultural bridge, while the genie lamp, a symbol of light of knowledge against obscurantism and ignorance, reflects the hope that the magical power of knowledge will eventually destroy age-old myths and superstitions and break down seemingly insurmountable barriers.

The diffusion of knowledge being the focus of the project, we began by launching a multilingual Web site that provided historically accurate information on Jewish religion, culture and history, particularly the Holocaust, in Arabic, Persian and Turkish, as well as English and French. In a special arrangement with the publishers, we set up an online library that allowed Internet users to download the books free of charge.

As the daughter of one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz, I feel a very strong duty to transmit what my father, who was a great optimist despite all that he endured, taught me: How did this experience at such an early phase in your career influence the path you took afterward?
