NCJW looks at the history of American extremism
The West Morris section of the National Council of Jewish Women presents a free Zoom series called “The History of Extremism in the United States and Its Impact on the Jewish Community.” The series, part of NCJW’s Our Jewish World series, is set for three Thursdays — April 3, 10, and 17 — at 1 p.m. Dr. Angela West, a Holocaust and genocide studies scholar and adjunct professor at Drew University’s Holocaust studies department, will lead it.
On April 3, she’ll look at “The German American Bund and the Fight Against Fascism.” On April 10, the focus will be on the “Mississippi Klan: Homegrown Terrorism and Interfaith Resistance.” On April 17, she’ll talk about “Beyond the Fringe: How Extremism Is Shaping the United States.” In that session, Dr. West will examine how extremism has been increasing in the United States over the last 10 years. The seminars are free. To register and get the Zoom link, iadpr@aol.com.
