Hollywood’s Unofficial Film Corps with Michael Berkowitz

Join us for an afternoon with Michael Berkowitz, author of the recently published Hollywood’s Unofficial Film Corps. In the book Berkowitz explores the centrality of humorist and best-selling author Leo Rosten (The Joys of Yiddish) and writer, producer, and screenwriter Budd Schulberg (On the Waterfront, A Face in the Crowd) in order to examine the elusive story of Hollywood insiders’ role in World War II. Michael Berkowitz is professor of modern Jewish history at University College London. His recent monographs include Jews and Photography in Britain (University of Texas Press) and The Crime of My Very Existence: Nazism and the Myth of Jewish Criminality (University of California Press). He has held fellowships from Linda Hall Library (for the History of Science, Technology, and Engineering, Kansas City), the Science History Institute (Philadelphia), the Remarque Institute (NYU), the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (Washington, DC), Yad Vashem (Jerusalem), and many others.
