Starting Jan. 28, The Breman Museum will be offering a series of six Atlanta Jewish History talks.

“This series will be a deep dive into Atlanta’s rich Jewish history lead by experts in their respective topics,” said Jeremy Katz, director of the Ida Pearle and Joseph Cuba Archives for Southern Jewish History at The Breman Museum. 

The series will launch with a talk by Steve Oney, author of “And the Dead Shall Rise: The Murder of Mary Phagan and the Lynching of Leo Frank.” The series will span a wide range of topics, including the history of Jewish women’s activism in Atlanta and anti-Semitism’s role in the Emory Dental School scandal.

Jeremy Katz and Steve Oney joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes for a conversation about the upcoming series and the legacy of Jewish Americans here in Atlanta.
