MORE ABOUT JUD NEWBORN’S LECTURE TOPICS:
1) STARTLING VISUAL PROGRAM: TODAY’S GLOBAL ANTI-SEMITISM AND NAZISM COMPARED—A WAKE-UP CALL (Slideshow/panels)
The spread of deep-seated Muslim anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism—all too similar to Nazism—may well be the most explosive crisis confronting the West today. Comparing contemporary Arab press cartoons and Nazi images, Dr. Newborn presents an eye-opening program that reveals the full extent of this danger, including its effects on Europe & beyond. He then fields questions about terrorism, anti-Semitism, & the Mid-East crisis today.
2) LIONS OF JUDAH: THE UNSUNG STORY OF JEWISH ANTI-NAZI RESIS-TANCE—& ITS LESSONS FOR CONFRONTING EXTREMISM TODAY
Dr. Newborn sets the dramatic, unsung story of Jewish anti-Nazi resistance in an eye-opening framework that also explains its relevance for today’s crisis. "Lions of Judah" pro-vides accounts of Jewish resourcefulness and heroism that will surprise and inspire—while fundamentally changing our assumptions about how Jews responded to Nazi terror. It will also teach audiences the true meaning of courage, as we face the danger of fanaticism, anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism today. (Optional: Brief examples from Lecture #1)
3) DEFYING HITLER: GERMANY'S WHITE ROSE STUDENT RESISTANCE, ROLE MODELS FOR FIGHTING ETHNIC HATRED AND EXTREMISM
Based on Dr. Newborn's book, Shattering the German Night, "Defying Hitler" recounts the inspiring story of courageous German university students, some former Hitler Youth lead-ers, who launched an extraordinary anti-Nazi resistance—only to pay for it with their lives. Dr. Newborn conveys the importance of the White Rose as role models—clarifying the differ-ence between true courage and the fanaticism of today's suicide bombers—while lauding those special people in the Jewish, Christian and Muslim world who lead in the struggle against bigotry and ethnic hatred. (Excellent for campuses—Press cartoons optional)
4) TO LIFE! A HOL. HERO’S MODERN MIRACLE (LEADERSHIP LESSONS)
An evening of mystery and revelation. Revolving around the author's thrilling discovery
of an unsung Holocaust hero's lost artifacts, Dr. Newborn tells a miraculous, life-affirming story of how three seemingly disconnected lives—his own included—magically intersected over time & space. They did so via the saving grace of the Jewish Bund's great spokesman, Artur Zygielbojm—a tragic hero who sacrificed his life to bring the first news of the Holo-caust to the West. Newborn's discovery links him by surprise to Zygielbojm's surviving niece, a 75 year-old champion ballroom dancer who "brings me under her spell, inducing me to dance—not to mourn, but to celebrate Jewish survival." (With dramatic visuals)
5) THE HASIDIC IMAGE IN AMERICA: ITS CONTRADICTIONS EXPLAINED
