Screening | Documentary: Julie Anderson's Mr. Conservative (2006): Meet Barry Goldwater


This film follows Arizona Senator Barry Goldwater's tumultuous election year, as well as other years in a career that encompassed numerous political and ideological triumphs. Though he never achieved the ultimate prize, the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 vindicated the conservative agenda Goldwater had long championed. Ironically, in later years, Goldwater's support of issues like abortion and gay rights were diametrically opposed to those of the "new conservative" leadership, underscoring both the distance the country has traveled in the last 40 years, as well as the dogged independence Goldwater embodied up to his death in 1998. 90 min.

Talk | Polish Records—What They Contain, Where They Are and How to Get Them


Hadassah Lipsius will discuss the various types of records and documents available from the Greater Poland area.

She will demonstrate how to identify what records are available for your ancestral town, how to acquire them and how to use them to further your genealogy research. The regions that she will cover include Congress Poland, Russian Pale of Settlement (Bialystok area), Galicia, and Prussia. Lipsius is a member of the Executive Council of the Jewish Genealogical Society of NY, a board member of Jewish Records Indexing-Poland and a member of the Board of Governors of Jewishgen. She was co-chair of the 26th IAJGS International Conference on Jewish Genealogy. She takes pride that her family were city dwellers (i.e. Warszawa and St. Petersburg) for over 200 years.
