Dr. Gorbach will discuss the life, work and current relevance of Ben Hecht, the legendary “Shakespeare of Hollywood,” a Chicago crime reporter and leading Hollywood screenwriter who played a critical role in history by shattering the American media silence about the Nazi’s Final Solution to the Jewish Question.

Speakers:    

Dawn Lovig (Ethnomusicologist/Music Educator), 
Mayco Santaella (Ethnomusicologist/Sunway University),
