Join us for the January Lunch and Learn with award-winning historian and author Steven Ujifusa, whose latest book The Last Ships from Hamburg traces the extraordinary journey of 2.5 million Eastern European Jews fleeing discrimination and violence between 1890 and 1921. Following their paths from the shtetls of Russia and the bustling ports of Hamburg to the mansions of New York’s Upper East Side and the picket lines of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, Ujifusa presents an intimate yet sweeping history of immigration, identity, and the American experience.
