Dr. Jud Newborn http://www.judnewborn.com/

JUD NEWBORN, Ph.D., a New York-based lecturer, author and curator, is an expert on extremism, the Holocaust, and the fight for human rights worldwide. He is also a lyricist and poet. He was educated at NYU, Cambridge University, and the University of Chicago, where he received his doctorate with Distinction. A pioneer in the creation of Holocaust museums, Dr. Newborn served as Founding Historian, curator and co-creator of New York’s Museum of Jewish Heritage.

Jud Newborn is co-author of Sophie Scholl and the White Rose* (companion to the recent Oscar-nominated German film, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days). Acclaimed by such publications as Newsweek International, The New York Times and Library Journal, his book provides the definitive and compelling account of the White Rose, a group of Christian students—some former Hitler Youth leaders—who became the greatest heroes of the German anti-Nazi resistance. Dr. Newborn has also written for numerous leading newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times and The Jerusalem Post. Jud Newborn’s dramatic multimedia lecture programs have taken him from The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles and San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre to NY’s National Arts Club and the United Nation, and from Canada to Cape Town. He performs frequently for colleges, universities, religious institutions and national conferences. Lauded by such publications as Newsweek and The New York Times, and by such institutions as the UN, Princeton’s Jewish Center and the Hebrew Union College, Dr. Jud Newborn speaks with dramatic power and a deeply felt passion that leaves his audiences both moved an exhilarated.” – LIFESTYLES MAGAZINE Using music, photographs and dramatic story telling, Dr. Newborn tells how Sophie and Hans Scholl transformed from Hitler Youth leaders into the greatest heroes of the German anti-Nazi resistance. He then reveals the power of the White Rose as role models in the struggle against fanaticism, anti-Semitism and genocide abroad, as well as bias and threats to democracy at home. Relating their story to today’s most compelling current events, he concludes by presenting unexpected heroes worldwide who lead in the fight for freedom and our shared humanity. *PLEASE NOTE: Dr. Newborn’s book Sophie Scholl and the White Rose will be on sale at the meeting and Dr. Newborn will be available for a book signing.
