Dvir Abramovich

Dvir Abramovich (Hebrew: דביר אברמוביץ, Russian: Двир Абрамович, born 1971) is an Israeli-Australian Jewish studies academic, columnist, and editor.

Abramovich began teaching Hebrew language and literature at The Centre for Jewish History and Culture at the University of Melbourne.

While at the university, Abramovich has taught a range of subjects including Hebrew language at various levels as well Introduction to Modern Jewish Culture, Israeli Film, A History of Israel, A History of the Arab Israeli conflict, "Jerusalem in Jewish Literature", "Reading the Holocaust" and "Israel: Conflicts and Culture".

He has been co-editor of the 2008 book Testifying to the Holocaust[6] and author of Back to the Future: Israeli Literature of the 1980s and 1990s,[7] as well as Hebrew Classics: A Journey Through Israel Timeless Prose and Poetry.

[1] Commonly, Abramovich's activism involves protesting perceived actions that exploits or trivialises the legacy and memory of the Holocaust and its victims.

Abramovich wrote that "Safran's exploitative approach drains the Holocaust of its tragic context (the death camps, the starvation, the shootings, the burning of bodies, the mounds of hair, shoes and glasses)".

[17] Abramovich and the Anti-Defamation Commission under his leadership have been criticised for focusing too much on defending the Israeli government and targeting anti-Zionists rather than its original mission of challenging racism and bigotry.
