Description:
Join us for a compelling online book talk with historian Scott D. Seligman, author of The Great Christmas Boycott of 1906, as he unpacks a dramatic and little known chapter in American Jewish history. Set in New York at the dawn of the twentieth century, this meticulously researched account begins in the winter of 1905-1906 when a Brooklyn elementary school principal urged his Jewish students to be “more like Jesus Christ,” sparking outrage in the community and inspiring mass mobilization. What followed was a citywide boycott of public school Christmas pageants by Jewish families, a protest that triggered an enormous antisemitic backlash and raised urgent questions about religion, identity, and citizenship in the United States.
Seligman’s book details how the Jewish community of New York, led by activist Albert Lucas and backed by Orthodox, Reform, and immigrant voices alike, refused to remain silent. They challenged the public school system, pressured the school board to limit sectarian religious practices in schools, and confronted the backlash head-on. In doing so, they forged a formative model for how American Jews engaged with public schooling, the boundaries of religious expression, and the meaning of belonging.
Scott D. Seligman is a national award-winning writer of narrative non-fiction and biography with an interest in the history of hyphenated Americans. He specializes in bringing little-known but crucial moments in history to life with drama and meaning. A former corporate executive who holds an undergraduate degree in American history from Princeton and a master’s degree from Harvard, he has written three books on American Jewish history, including The Great Kosher Meat War of 1902, which won gold medals in history in the Independent Publisher Book Awards and Reader Views Literary Awards and was a finalist in the 2020 National Jewish Book Awards. He lives in Washington, DC.

Despite extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous men and women. Through personal photographs, letters, rare archival film footage, and historic war records, Four Winters - A Story of Jewish Partisan Resistance and Bravery in WWII weaves together a complex, layered story that illuminates the many ways in which Jews resisted the Nazis.

Marking the liberation of Auschwitz in 1945, International Holocaust Remembrance Day allows us to reflect upon the profound tragedy of the Holocaust while coming together to share a moment of peace and hope for the future. This year’s commemoration features a conversation between Faris Cassell, author of Inseparable: The Hess Twins’ Holocaust Journey through Bergen-Belsen to America, and Holocaust survivor Marion Ein Lewin, whose family is the subject of the book.
Torn from their home in Amsterdam, Cassell will trace the story from the Hesses’ prosperous pre-war life in Germany to their desperate ride in a bullet-strafed boxcar through the rubble of the collapsing Third Reich. Join us to discover the story of a family’s love that endured the most sinister of circumstances, serving as an inspiration to all.
About the Speakers
Faris Cassell, award-winning investigative journalist, is the author of Inseparable: The Hess Twins’ Holocaust Journey through Bergen-Belsen to America.

Marion Ein Lewin (née Hess) and her twin brother, Steven Hess, were six years old when they were taken by the Nazis from Holland to Bergen-Belsen, where they endured brutal conditions and lived in a state of fear. The twins and their parents were imprisoned there for approximately one year, narrowly escaping being sent to Auschwitz. After liberation, they moved to the United States.

Description:
Nazism has always faced resistance – from the German artists who risked their lives by drawing caricatures of the Nazis in the 1920s, or the man who infiltrated the SS to try to expose the Holocaust in the 1940s, or the people who uncovered former Nazis as part of a groundbreaking documentary in the 1970s. Dr. Luke Berryman’s Resisting Nazism is the first book to connect such stories, painting a vivid picture of resistance to far-right extremism across the generations.
Dr. Luke Berryman is the Founder and CEO of The Ninth Candle, a Chicago-based nonprofit organization that helps schools to improve Holocaust education. Luke has written about the Holocaust and antisemitism for newspapers including The Chicago Tribune, USA Today, and The Guardian, and for pedagogy journals like Education Week and Chalkbeat. He wrote his doctoral thesis on the use of classical music in Nazi propaganda at King’s College London.
