Jeffrey Shandler, Distinguished Professor of Jewish Studies at Rutgers University, will discuss his new book on how immigrant Jewish scholars in 1940s New York sought to build a museum to commemorate the Jewish cultures of Eastern Europe destroyed during the Holocaust. Though the largely unknown project was never realized, it marked a critical inflection point in the dynamic interrelations between Jews in America and Eastern Europe.
