Destructive Education: Residential Schools In North America And The Tsarist Empire
Jews and North American aboriginals share many common experiences as victims of more powerful societies. Whereas the evils associated with residential schools have become more well-known, the same cannot be said about Tsarist Russia’s attempts to destroy Jewish lives and identity over its 300-year history. How did Native Americans and Russian Jews deal with these deadly cultural and religious onslaughts? Our webinar will look at these questions, as well as the social, political, and cultural conditions that allowed the establishment of such horrific institutions.
