Presented by TEMPLE DE HIRSCH as part of the Keller Lecture Series. This year's Keller Lecturer is Dr. Deborah E. Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, historical consultant to the U.S. Holocaust Museum, and 2005 winner of the Al Chernin Award given by the Jewish Council for Public Affairs to the person who best exemplifies protection of the First Amendment. The author of History on Trial, Denying the Holocaust, and Beyond Belief, her most recent book is The Eichmann Trial (Schocken/Nextbook). "Lipstadt has done a great service by untethering the [Eichmann] trial from Hannah Arendt's polarizing presence, recovering the event as a gripping legal drama, as well as a hinge moment in Israel's history and in the world's delayed awakening to the magnitude of the Holocaust ... Her conclusions about Eichmann in Jerusalem are rendered calmly and with devastating fairness." – Franklin Foer, The New York Times Book Review. This free, public event is followed by a reception, book sales, and signing. Temple de Hirsch Sinai is at 1441 Sixteenth Avenue on Capitol Hill. For more information, please see www.tdhs-nw.org.
