Religious roots contributing to anti-Semitism will be the subject of the second Mosse Workshop at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Proceedings will be held on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 12 and 13.
Spanning the Roman Empire and continuing through the Reformation up through the 18th century, the conference will bring together participants from Germany, Canada and UW-Madison. Subjects will include legal aspects of anti-Semitism, ways in which Jews and various Christian denominations regarded each other, the portrait that media painted of Jewish people and more.
George Mosse was UW-Madison's Bascom-Weinstein Professor of Jewish Studies until his retirement in 1989. He died in 1999. Since Mosse had been known around the world as a preeminent scholar of European intellectual thought and fascism, the workshop is intended to honor his memory, according to organizer Klaus Berghahn, UW-Madison professor of German.
In addition to his work at UW-Madison, Mosse was the first Koebner Professor
at Hebrew University and the first J.B. and Maurice C. Shapiro Senior
Scholar-in-Residence at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.,
where he conducted research at the museum's Center for Advanced Holocaust
Studies.
Workshop sessions are free and open to the public. They will begin at
9:30 a.m. and take place in 203 Ingraham Hall. A reception and dinner
will wrap up the workshop. For dinner reservations, more information or
