7:30 pm
Jewish Community Center, 1700 City Line Avenue, Reading, PA

   Tony Platt, author of Bloodlines, will speak at the Jewish Community Center at 7:30 pm on Oct. 11 to discuss his book. This event is co-hosted by the Holocaust Resource Center (Gingrich Library) and the Jewish Community Center of Reading.

The book themes include the reasons why 1935 Blood Law and other policies were created; the ties between Nazi and American eugenics; how General Patton looted an original copy of the Nuremberg Laws and it landed in the Huntington Library in California (who hid this information for 54 years); the ethical and cultural responsibilities of museums regarding the display of significant items; and, how the project triggered an exploration of the author's own Jewish identity.
