School to Commemorate Kristallnacht with Speaker Nov. 8

Maimonides will commemorate the 71st anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom Sunday, Nov. 8 with a public lecture by Prof. Susannah Heschel, Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College, beginning at 7:30.

Her remarks are entitled, "Race Became Faith: The Nazi Conversion of the Churches During the Third Reich, and Its Consequences for European Jewry."

Prof. Heschel, currently on sabbatical on a Carnegie Foundation grant, is writing a book on the history of Jewish scholarship on Islam. Her areas of expertise include Jewish-Christian relations in Germany, the history of biblical scholarship, and the history of anti-Semitism.

She received her Ph.D. in Religious Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.

The annual Kristallnacht lecture is underwritten by Mamonides School's Theodore and Anna Schoenfeld Holocaust Studies Endowment Fund.
