Presented by Brian K. Goodman, ASU.

This event, part of Legacies and Futures Lecture Series, is offered only on Zoom.

How has the legacy of the Cold War shaped contemporary Jewish literature between the United States, Germany and Israel? Join us as we will explore how experiences and memories from the Cold War era continue to impact the dynamic present and future of Jewish writing across multiple languages. This lecture is part 1 of the 3-part series. However, you can register for each one individually and can attend any one or all of the lectures in the series.
