SUMMARY:Book Launch: Lisa Silverman\, The Postwar Antisemite: Culture & Complicity After the Holocaust
DESCRIPTION:Lisa Silverman in Conversation with Alan Singer  \nDecades before the Nazi persecution of the Jews would emerge as a master moral paradigm of evil in popular culture\, the constructed Antisemite became part of a forceful narrative structure that allowed stereotypes about Jews to persist\, even as explicit antisemitism became taboo. In the recently released The Postwar Antisemite\, Lisa Silverman examines the crucial development and implications of the figural Antisemite in a range of events in Austria\, Germany\, and the United States including the trials of Nazi star director Veit Harlan for crimes against humanity\, the works of authors Anna Seghers and Rudolf Brunngraber\, and films including Gentleman’s Agreement. Join us at Boswell for an important conversation about this history and what it reveals about antisemitism. \nRegister for event: lisasilvermanmke.eventbrite.com \nLisa Silverman is Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. She specializes in modern German and Austrian Jewish cultural history\, with a focus on gender\, visual culture\, and antisemitism. She is also author of Becoming Austrians: Jews and Culture between the World Wars (Oxford\, 2012) and co-author with Daniel H. Magilow of Holocaust Representations in History: an Introduction (Bloomsbury\, 2015; 2nd ed. 2019). \nAlan H. Singer is Associate Teaching Professor in UWM’s Honors College\, where he teaches courses on social\, intellectual\, and political history. His courses include: “The Oldest Hatred: The Jewish People as the Perpetual Other”\, “We\, Ourselves: Nations and Nationalisms in the Modern World”\, and “Transatlantic Revolutions: Resistance\, Rebellion and Social Conflict\, 1650-1800”.  His research focuses on how cultural representations of Jews were used in political and social conflict. \nIn partnership with Boswell Books. Cosponsored by UWM’s History Department and Honors College.
