Carlsbad City Library, Ruby G. Schulman Auditorium

Together with Dr. Lawrence Baron we trace the evolution of Hollywood films about American anti-Semitism from the generic anti-prejudice movies of the Thirties, postwar social-problem movies, Sixties films about backlash to the Civil Rights movement, nostalgic films that place anti-Jewish discrimination in the past, and others that treat anti-Semitic violence as an expression of interracial tensions or white supremacist ideology.

An earlier publication listed the start time of this lecture as 10:30am. The time has been changed and this lecture will now take place at 1:00pm
