Max Baer and Barney Ross: Jewish Heroes of Boxing Educational Lecture Boxing Beyond The Trophy: Jews Who K.O.'d Intolerance at Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County in Glen Cove, Long Island, New York.
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County (HMTC) presents "Max Baer and Barney Ross: Jewish Heroes of Boxing," a lecture and book signing by author Jeffrey Sussman.
"Max Baer and Barney Ross: Jewish Heroes of Boxing" is about two champions of boxing in the 20's and 30's who were an inspiration for Jewish fans across the country and throughout the world. The book paints an evocative picture of boxing and the crucial role it played in an era of rising antisemitism. Though they came from very different backgrounds - Baer grew up on the family's ranch in California, while Ross, who grew up in an Orthodox family, roamed the tough streets of Chicago and was a runner for Al Capone, both became boxing champions. |
