Join Dr. Hasia Diner, Paul And Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History at New York University, as she explores these three dimensions of American Jewish encounters with WWI. Sponsored by Bank of Blue Valley/Regnier Family Foundation. Presented in conjunction with centennial exhibition For Liberty: American Jewish Experience in WWI. Presented in partnership with the Midwest Center for Holocaust Education and the National Archives at Kansas City. Reception begins at 6 p.m. FREE with RSVP | J.C. Nichols Auditorium
