AUJA – Argentine Jewish University Association
As part of an inter-university awareness campaign led by AUJA, Holocaust survivors participating in Fundación Tzedaká’s Holocaust Survivors Assistance Program have been sharing their testimonies with university students, creating meaningful opportunities for dialogue and reflection.
So far, Helene Gutkowski has spoken at Universidad del Salvador; Isaac Behar at Universidad Torcuato Di Tella; Josette Laznowski at Universidad Católica Argentina (UCA); and Máximo Simoni at Universidad del CEMA (UCEMA).
The initiative brings survivors’ experiences to younger generations, helping preserve Holocaust memory while encouraging reflection on its lessons and consequences.
AUJA is an independent network of more than 200 Jewish students representing over 30 universities across Argentina, promoting education, leadership, dialogue, and community engagement.
