SUMMARY:The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg with Director Q&A with NMAJMH
DESCRIPTION:25th anniversary screening of documentary about an extraordinary baseball player and World War II soldier who became an American icon. \nÒThe Life and Times of Hank Greenberg’ is a humorous and nostalgic documentary about an extraordinary baseball player who transcended religious prejudice to become an American icon. Detroit Tiger Hammerin’ Hank’s accomplishments during the Golden Age of Baseball rivaled those of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig. This compelling documentary examines how America’s first Jewish baseball star was a beacon of hope to American Jews who faced bigotry during the Depression and World War II. In 1941\, Greenberg enlisted in the United States Army Air Forces\, serving his country during World War II and pausing his baseball career. \nAviva Kempner joins us for Q&A following the film.

SUMMARY:"A Promised Land" Book Talk with Ntl Museum of American Jewish Military History
DESCRIPTION:Adam Jortner discusses his book A Promised Land\, a new history that centers Judaism at the dawn of the United States. \nJews played a critical role both in winning the American Revolution–fighting for the Patriot cause from Bunker Hill to Yorktown–and in defining the republic that was created from it. As the most visible non-Christian religion\, Judaism was central to the debate over religious freedom in America at a critical juncture. During the war every city with a synagogue fell to the British-with the exception of Philadelphia\, birthplace to the Declaration of Independence and a core of resistance. Jewish patriots throughout the colonies flocked to the city\, where they re-founded the local synagogue as a distinctively American organization. After the war\, Jews began to press for full citizenship in the hope that liberty would apply to everyone\, and that the limits to freedom imposed on Jews in the Old World would be removed in the New World
