Hasia Diner (Paul and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History and Director, Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History, New York University)
Thursday, October 1st 2015 at 7:00 PM
This Lecture at Hagley Museum and Library is open to the public.
Those planning to attend should r.s.v.p. to Carol Lockman,clockman@Hagley.org or call 302-658-2400, ext. 243.
In the talk “Peddlers and the Great Jewish Migration to the New World,” Hasia Diner will tell the story of millions of discontented young Jewish men who sought opportunity abroad by working as peddlers, leaving parents, wives, and sweethearts behind. Wherever they went, they learned unfamiliar languages and customs, endured loneliness, battled the elements, and proffered goods from the metropolis to people of the hinterlands. In many places these traveling men brought change—to themselves and the families who later followed, to the women whose homes and communities they entered, and ultimately to the geography of Jewish history. Dr. Diner will highlight real individuals and their experiences, and how these peddlers shaped the Jewish Diaspora and individual communities around the world.
Hasia Diner is Paul and Sylvia Steinberg Professor of American Jewish History and director, Goldstein-Goren Center for American Jewish History, New York University.
