The History of Jewish Hate Symposium is brought to the community by the Jewish
Federation of Greater Chattanooga and will take place at the Jewish Cultural Center, 5461 North Terrace Road. The sessions will take place beginning October 27 and continue on consecutive Sundays until November 10, from 2-4 pm. There is no cost to attend. Please RSVP to rsvp@jewishchattanooga.com. This symposium is in honor of Herb Cohn who always encourages intriguing conversations.

The Symposium is as follows: Whose History is it? Memorialization, Memory, and
non-Memory of the Holocaust

Panel members include: Dr. John W. Steinberg: Memorialization Sites in Poland, Austin Peay State University; Mr. Ken Gluck, Tennessee Holocaust Commission

“A final word on why this symposium and why now. The “now” part of the question is
born out of a reaction to what has happened to the world since October 7, 2023. I expect throughout all three symposiums for a sub-topic to exist very close to the surface that is aimed at sharing knowledge that will help people develop a better understanding about why the conflict in Israel/Palestine has led to such a vicious rise in antisemitism on a global level”, Dr. John Steinberg.
Dr. Steinberg’s leadership has brought the symposium to fruition. Dr. John W. Steinberg
is Professor of Russian and World History at Austin Peay State University. He was trained as a Holocaust educator by the Holocaust Education Foundation at Northwestern University and has taught courses on the topic in Georgia, Tennessee and Poland for the past twenty years. Dr. Steinberg was also a Charles H. Revson Foundation Fellow at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Center for Advance Holocaust Studies at the United States Holocaust Memorial and
Museum.
