A Rosenberg by Any Other Name – Virtual

February 15 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

  • « Italian Migrations and Records – hybrid
  • Show and Tell – hybrid »

Presenter: Kirsten Fermaglich

Our images of name changing are frequently clichés: movie stars who adopted new names or Ellis Island officials who changed immigrants’ names. Kirsten Fermaglich upends these cliches by examining previously unexplored name change petitions. In 20th-century New York City, thousands of ordinary Jews legally changed their names to respond to institutionalized antisemitism. While name changing allowed Jewish families to achieve middle-class status, the practice also became a source of family pain and community stigma.
