Karen Franklin, Director of Family Research at the Leo Baeck Institute and a consultant at the Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust, presents her Valley Beit Midrash lecture "The Untold Story of the Lehman Family and its Aid to Refugees: 1933-1945" before an audience at Temple Beth Shalom (tbsaz.org/) in Sun City, AZ.
ABOUT THIS LECTURE: For many centuries, Jews were the target of antisemitic visuals, images that framed them negatively as one-dimensional figures. It is only with the advent of the Yiddish press that Jewish artists began to develop a visual language with which they were able to describe their own communities. Yiddish cartoons became a unique forum that considered all aspects of cultural and political life, as well as a number of little known scandals that occurred in Yiddish-speaking communities which historians have mostly ignored.
