From Weimar to New York: Alfred Kerr's Passion for America

Alfred Kerr was an influential writer and journalist before the Nazis seized power and subsequently declared him a target for his criticism against the party. In celebration of the publication of New York and London: A Journey After the Great War by Alfred Kerr, Ralph Blumenthal will join the Leo Baeck Institute and Berlinica Press to discuss Kerr's work as a Weimar author in exile.

Ralph Blumenthal, a Distinguished Lecturer at Baruch College, was a New York Times reporter from 1964-2009 and is now a contributor. He is a Guggenheim Fellow and non-fiction author.
