Defiance and Protest: Forgotten Individual Jewish Reactions to the Persecution in Nazi Germany

Wolf Gruner, Shapell-Guerin Chair in Jewish Studies, and Professor of History at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, will give a talk on Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. With hitherto unused local archival sources from various cities as well as video testimonies, it can be demonstrated that German Jews performed many individual acts of defiance and even expressed open protest in public against Nazi persecution starting in 1933 up to well into the war. This lecture is sponsored by the Cornell Jewish Studies Program and Cornell University Library. to find out more click here.
