Contemporary French and American Jewish Life: The End of the “Liberal Narrative”
Hosted By: Haberman Institute
Despite its barbarity, the 20th century was in many ways “the Jewish Century,” as Yuri Slezkine famously called it. This was especially true of France and of the United States, the two countries that, in the West, sheltered the most important diaspora Jewish communities after World War II.
