Charles Lindbergh may have been the “Pride of St. Louis,” but his legacy is complicated. Last year, the St. Louis Jewish Light published a groundbreaking article about this very disturbing point: Lindbergh was an international celebrity with a loud microphone and a great admiration for Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler, passionately arguing against U.S. involvement in World War II.
This 90-minute panel discussion, from 1-2:30 p.m. at the Mirowitz Center features Shula Neuman, who researched and wrote the article, and Helen Turner, director of education at the St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum. Jordan Palmer, chief digital content officer of the Jewish Light, will moderate.
No cost to register, but RSVP required. Co-sponsored by ADL Heartland, the American Jewish Committee, Jewish Community Relations Council of St. Louis, National Council of Jewish Women St. Louis and St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum.
