Dr. Jonathan D. Sarna is a world-renown historian and leading commentator on American Jewish history, religion and life. He will be speaking about his most recent book which he co-authored with Benjamin Shapell: Lincoln and the Jews: A History. This work illustrates how President Abraham Lincoln—perhaps best known for his efforts in abolishing slavery—intended to secure equality and freedom for all Americans, including another growing minority group in Civil War-era America: the Jews. Dr. Sarna will be available for book signing and his book will be available for purchase.Dedicated by Dr. Barbara Annan in loving memory of David H. Annan
