Book Discussion | Box Girls: What Happens on the Brink of Collapse
For nearly twenty years, the events behind the Strasbourg hotel's closure have remained a mystery known only by the few who frequent the back alleys of Hollywood Boulevard. There are whispers there, of girls in glass boxes, legendary art installations wiped from the record, after one of the performers was found dead in her box. The Box Girls are a myth or a memory that only few can recall, until now. From the detritus, a transcript emerges and, with it, an intimate narrative, the definitive record of what really happened that summer to the Box Girls of the Strasbourg hotel. Over one hundred and twenty-eight interviews, and hundreds of hours of recordings, a frenzied tapestry of voices reveals answers to the mystery few knew existed, and explores visibility, identity, and the boundaries of perception in a world teetering on the brink of collapse.

Lecture | Other Egypt: The Power and People of the Nile Delta
This lecture will focus on life at Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit from the Late Dynastic to the Late Roman period. An interdisciplinary project investigating the two connected settlements of Kom al-Ahmer and Kom Wasit (ancient Metelis) began in 2012 with the aim of exploring the role of the Western Delta in Egyptian history and addressing unanswered questions about ancient societies, human adaptation, religious practices, and daily life. Key aspects of the Ptolemaic residential district and a public tholoi (bathhouse) will be discussed, along with an overview of the material culture, including Greek pottery and numismatic finds. The Western Nile Delta (chora of Alexandria) was a hub of commerce and trade, actively engaging with Mediterranean ports and facilitating cultural and economic exchanges. The speaker, Mohamed Kenawi, is a Research Associate at the School of Archaeology and Ancient History, University of Leicester.

Book Discussion | Rewriting Hisstory: A Fifty-Year Journey to Uncover the Truth About Alger Hiss (in-person and online)
When Alger Hiss was accused by Whittaker Chambers in 1948 of being a secret Communist spy in the 1930s, the subsequent perjury trials were some of the most sensational and politically significant trials of the century. Although Hiss was convicted, he maintained his innocence until his death, and historians have taken sides ever since. In this groundbreaking and revelatory book, Jeff Kisseloff brings new perspective, evidence, and accusations to this historical controversy.

Author Reading | To Go on Living: Stories of Surviving War
Set in an Armenian mountain village immediately after the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in the early 1990s, Narine Abgaryan's To Go On Living traces the interconnected lives of villagers tending to their everyday tasks, engaging in quotidian squabbles, and celebrating small joys against a breathtaking landscape. Yet the setting, suspended in time and space, belies unspeakable tragedy: every character contends with an unbearable burden of loss. The war rages largely off the book's pages, appearing only in fragmented flashbacks. Abgaryan's stories focus on how, in the war's aftermath, the survivors work, as individuals and as a community, to find a way forward. Written in Abgaryan's signature style that weaves elements of Armenian folk tradition into her prose, these stories of community, courage, and resilience celebrate human life, where humor and love and hope prevail in unthinkable circumstances.

Lecture | Bridging Generations, Disciplines, and the Atlantic: The Leo Baeck Institute at 70
As they began their salvage of the material and intellectual legacy of European Jewry, the Leo Baeck Institute's founders hoped to assemble a narrative of the German-Jewish past that was comprehensive, synthetic, and "free from apologetic or tendentious coloring." Today, the collections of the LBI inform a corpus of scholarship that surely surpassed the founders' wildest expectations in scope, but whose "coloring" has also changed as much as society and the academy. The 66th Leo Baeck Memorial Lecture will assemble a panel of scholars to discuss the evolution of the field of German-Jewish history over seven decades and its prospects for the future. At the center of their discussion will be the LBI as an institution that has both shaped and been shaped by the many turns of intellectual history. Featuring Michael Brenner (American University / University of Munich), Elisheva Carlebach(Columbia), Raphael Gross (German Historical Museum, Berlin), Marion Kaplan (NYU), and Helmut Walser-Smith (Vanderbilt). After the lecture, visitors will have the opportunity to view LBI's anniversary exhibit, 70 Years of LBI: Bridging Generations.
