Is death something that merely happens to us, or is dying something that we do? How might ethics inform the decisions we make for ourselves or for others? We often say that someone 'died well' - but is a 'good' death distinguishable from a 'good' life? Is our life ours to end when we think best? Do we owe obligations to the dead?

Among the tragic stories of the Holocaust, often told but rarely understood, is the legend surrounding the genesis of the vast collection of Jewish ritual objects in Prague. It was meticulously catalogued by curators of the Prague Jewish Museum during the Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia. Between 1942 and 1945, the museum was transformed into the largest depository of objects of Judaica in the world. To this day, the idea of the Nazis' intention to create a 'museum of an extinct race' still prevails. Drawing on recent research by the post-communist generation of Czech historians, Dr. Jana Vytrhlik discusses the myth and introduces a more perceptive and accurate account of the past events in Prague. Dr. Jana Vytrhlik is a Prague-born art historian specialising in Judaica and synagogue architecture with a PhD in Art History, University of Sydney.

Globally, we have learnt many lessons from the pandemic - that public health shouldn't be politicised, that we cannot stop COVID-19 without a global response, and that the cracks of inequality between nations have become impossible to ignore. How can we use what we have learnt over the last two years to ensure we emerge a healthier and fairer society? Former Prime Minister Julia Gillard is now the Chair of the Wellcome Trust, a not-for-profit global organisation that supports science to solve urgent health challenges equitably. She joins journalist Tegan Taylor for an evening of conversation exploring how to leverage science and make advances in health available to everyone.
