Join Dr. Miriam Mora for an exploration of American Jewish encounters with antisemitism during World War II, both on the battlefield and on the home front. Incorporating stories from the Wyner Family Jewish Heritage Center’s collections, she will examine the everyday interactions between Jews and their non-Jewish comrades and neighbors within a larger climate of antisemitism.
