THE CENTER FOR HOLOCAUST AND JEWISH STUDIES TO WELCOME JEFFREY HERF Herf, Distinguished University Professor Emeritus in the history department at the University of Maryland, College Park, will present a discussion on his 2022 book "Israel's Moment: International Support for and Opposition to Establishing the Jewish State, 1945-1949." The book explores how a Jewish state came to be forged in the shadow of World War II and the Holocaust and the onset of the Cold War. Herf explores the role of the United States, the Arab States, the Palestine Arabs, the Zionists, and key European governments from Britain and France to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Poland. His findings reveal a spectrum of support and opposition that stood in sharp contrast to the political coordinates that emerged during the Cold War, shedding new light on how and why the state of Israel was established in 1948 and challenging conventional associations of left and right, imperialism and anti-imperialism, and racism and anti-racism. The event is free and open to the public. |

Emilia tells the story Emilia Bassano Lanier, a writer of radical feminist poetry who lived during the English Renaissance period in Bishopsgate, London. There is little known about Emilia, though history indicates her works are one of the first published collections of poetry written by a woman in England. Historians speculate that Emilia may be the "Dark Lady" of William Shakespeare's sonnets- and the rest of HerStory has been erased by History. Evenings $20; preview/matinee: $18.50; Student: $12.50 |
