The Jewish Experience of the Civil War: Jewish Soldiers in Blue and Gray

 Export to My Calendar

Civil War scholarship often overlooks the roles Jews played in efforts to preserve both the Union and the Confederacy. In Jewish Soldiers in Blue and Gray, a first-of-its-kind film by Jonathan Gruber, we learn of the struggles American Jews faced both on the battlefield and at home during this nation’s deadliest war. Mr. Gruber’s film reveals information about the Jewish contribution that will change forever how the viewer understands the Civil War. Reception with author at 6:30 pm. Refreshments will be served.
