On November 15 at 7:30pm, Emory’s annual Rothschild Lecture will explore this complex and often controversial history with guest scholar James Loeffler of the University of Virginia speaking on “Rooted Cosmopolitans: Jews and Human Rights in the Twentieth Century,” the subject of his recent book by the same title. The lecture, sponsored by the Tam Institute for Jewish Studies and American Jewish Committee Atlanta, will take place in the Oxford Presentation Auditorium, 311 Oxford Road, on the Emory campus, and will be followed by a reception and book signing. The evening’s program will also commemorate the centennial of Morris B. Abram, a Georgia-born attorney, civil rights leader, and human rights activist, whose papers are housed at Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.
