The second Jewish Museum in Prague Annual Lecture will take place at the Bohemian National Hall in New York City on November 20, 2025
We would like to thank all those who responded to the call for lecture proposals for the Bohemian National Hall Annual Lecture
on the History and Culture of Jews in the Czech and Slovak Lands, which was issued by the Jewish Museum in Prague, in association
with the Society for the History of Czechoslovak Jews and the Consulate General of the Czech Republic in New York.
In total, we received 13 proposals from scholars from four different countries, all of which cover a wide range of interesting
topics. We appreciate the level of interest generated and believe that the lecture will help to expand awareness of the history
and culture of Czech, Moravian, and Slovak Jews.
The winning proposal has been selected by a committee of representatives from the Jewish Museum in Prague and the Society
for the History of Czechoslovak Jews. And the winner is Dr. Zbyněk Tarant, whose lecture is titled: “Leo Herrmann: The
Untold Story of a Man Who Rescued Max Brod and 2,500 Other Czechoslovak Jews from the Nazi Occupation.
” Congratulations!
“We are honored to continue this important tradition of fostering scholarship and public understanding of the rich Jewish
heritage of the Czech and Slovak lands,” said Pavla Niklová, Director of the Jewish Museum
in Prague. “Dr. Tarant’s lecture will shed light on a remarkable yet lesser-known figure of the Holocaust era,
and we are proud to help bring his story to an international audience.”
