CJH: Family Affairs - Ashkenazi and Sephardi Personal Histories

Our "Family Affairs" series explores researching and writing about Jewish experience from a distinctively personal perspective in discussions with leading scholars of modern Jewish history and the Holocaust.

Meri-Jane Rochelson (Florida International University) and Devin E. Naar (University of Washington) discuss their projects and personal histories in Ashkenazi and Sephardi contexts. Her Eli’s Story: A Twentieth-Century Jewish Life and his Jewish Salonica - Between the Ottoman Empire and Modern Greeceת serve as a starting point for a broader conversation, moderated by Natalia Aleksiun (Touro College).
