Susanna Heschel is the Eli Black Professor of Jewish Studies at Dartmouth College. Her scholarship focuses on Jewish-Christian relations in Germany during the 19th and 20th centuries, the history of biblical scholarship, and the history of anti-Semitism. Heschel will discuss the legacy of her father, Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, as a human rights activist. She will also discuss his archives, which have recently opened here at Duke in the Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library. A reception will follow.
