This blog entry comes to you from Omaha, Nebraska where I am visiting to speak both at a Holocaust studies class at the University of Omaha as well as at the Kaneko cultural arts center in old town Omaha! This is my first visit to the Great Plains, and I’m definitely looking forward to visiting campus today and exploring a bit of the city. I’ve received a lovely welcome here both from my host, Professor Waitman Beorn, as well as from the Omaha World Herald which today ran a great piece on my quest: Jewish artist’s great-granddaughter casts herself in ’21st century detective story’
Some photos on prior to our descent into Omaha yesterday afternoon:
