How Do You Say "Genocide" in Yiddish?
Speaker: Dr. James Loeffler, University of Virginia
Program Series: Rabbi Joshua O. Haberman Distinguished Scholar Series
Location: Ohr Kodesh Congregation, Chevy Chase, MD
Date: November 14, 2016
Dr. Loeffler makes the argument that the concept of a "genocide law" predates the Holocaust, and is derived from Lemkin's forgotten role as a leader in the interwar Polish Zionist movement.
