Over the course of three seasons\, An-sky and his team recorded thousands of tales\, jokes\, and incantations\, took hundreds of photos\, and collected numerous artifacts\, manuscripts\, and other objects. They also designed a massive life-cycle questionnaire consisting of 2087 questions entitled “The Jewish Ethnographic Program” for use in the field. An-sky’s goal was to document the traditional Jewish life of the Pale of Settlement before it disappeared forever and\, in the process\, to create a distinctly Jewish ethnography. \nNathaniel Deutsch is Professor of History and Literature at the University of California\, Santa Cruz\, where he is also the Director of the Institute for Humanities Research and the Co-Director of the Center for Jewish Studies. He has been a professor at Swarthmore College\, a visiting professor at Stanford University\, and the The Workmen’s Circle/Dr. Emanuel Patt Visiting Professor in Eastern European Jewish Studies at the YIVO Institute. Deutsch is the author of five books\, most recently The Jewish Dark Continent: Life and Death in the Russian Pale of Settlement(Harvard University Press\, 2011)\, for which he received a Guggenheim Fellowship. \nContact: Allyson Ramage\, aramage@ucsc.edu for more information.

Only 750 refugees would find their way to Sosúa\, a farming settlement on the island’s north coast. Why did the Roosevelt administration discourage Trujillo from taking in additional refugees\, putting the settlement’s future in jeopardy? This lecture will explore the impact such an abrupt change in policy had for other refugees seeking to flee Nazism and for U.S. policy in Latin America? \nAllen Wells is the Roger Howell\, Jr. Professor of History at Bowdoin College. His scholarship has focused on modern Mexican history\, especially Yucatán\, the history of commodities\, and U.S.-Latin American relations\, and he offers a range of courses in colonial and modern Latin American history.
