The Law Library Association of St. Louis, along with Anti-Defamation League Heartland and the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum, will present a virtual lecture, Jewish Lawyers and the Fight Against Fascism: 1926-1933, on Wednesday, March 3 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., in conjunction with the exhibit, “Lawyers Without Rights: Jewish Lawyers in Germany under the Third Reich” housed at the Law Library Association of St. Louis.

During the Weimar Republic, German-Jewish lawyers fought aggressively against anti-Semitism and fascism. 

This talk will focus in particular on the career of Bruno Weil, one of the lawyers featured in the exhibit.

The speaker will be Warren Rosenblum, professor of history and chair of the History, Politics and International Relations Department at Webster University. Rosenblum authored “Beyond the Prison Gates: Punishment and Welfare in Germany, 1850-1933,” which won the Southern Historical Association’s Baker-Burton Prize.
