Jewish G.I.s are topic of lecture

     Deborah Dash Moore will tell the stories of Jewish G.I.s who
served during World War II, at 7 p.m., Tuesday,  Nov. 19, in Room
204 Kirkbride Hall.
     Through dramatic incidents and vivid characterizations,
Moore tells the stories of Jewish G.I.s, mostly between the ages
of 18 and 21, who felt their wartime experiences to be defining
ones in terms of their identity as Americans.
     Moore is a professor of religion and director of the
American Culture Program at Vassar College. Currently, she is a
fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Judaic
Studies.
     The author of five books, including To the Golden Cities:
Pursuing the American Dream Since Miami and L.A., she is winner
of both the Viener Prize in American Jewish History and a
National Jewish Book Award.
     The event is free and open to the public and is cosponsored
by the Center for Jewish Studies, the University Honors Program
and the Department of Philosophy.
