Abstract
Dinur, the first Minister of Education, was a historian and one of the
founders of the Jerusalem school of modern Jewish historiography. As such,
the central points that he sought to emphasize in this speech are of special
interest. He noted, as a broad, general statement, that a nation must possess
memory, that is both continuous, preserving the continuity between the
past and the present, and stable, that is, this memory is not derived from
the needs of the present.
