Presented by the Leo M. Franklin Archives

The Jews of Iran: From the 20th Century to Modern Times

Mary Epstein Shapero Memorial Lecture

Sunday, June 14

7:00 PM

Take a 100-year journey with the Jews of Iran. Professor Lior B. Sternfeld will take us through their history, from the margins of society to the core of the nation building project in the 1970s. He will explore the ways in which Iranian Jews fared through the revolution and their struggles during the Islamic Republic. Then, Sternfeld will help us understand better the role the Jewish community played in the relationship between Iran and Israel and their experience in the post-1979 diaspora.

Due to the generosity of The Honorable Judge Walter Shapero and Kathleen Straus, this program is free and open to the community.
