Spyro Houris left behind stately structures but little evidence that he existed. Austin St. Barbe Harrison was a quiet but creative vision- ary. All three were architects who made major contributions to the Jerusalem of today.

Marcus: The Definition of Anti-Semitism Is it possible to be against the State of Israel but not anti-Semitic? If you don't want your son to marry someone Jewish but you're fine with living next door to Jews, is that anti-Semitism? The term "anti-Semitic" has been around for more than 1,000 years, and exactly what it means has been changed, debated and questioned ever since. KRISTALLNACHT COMMEMORATION DAY Wednesday, Nov. 9 11 a.m. Book Fair presentation by Jamie Wraight Moriz Scheyer: Asylum: A Survivor's Flight from Nazi- occupied Vienna Through Wartime France Moriz Scheyer was an editor at Vienna's leading newspaper, a friend of the city's great artists and a reporter held in great esteem. Then the Nazis came to power, and Scheyer began writing of a different sort. Now his focus was his wartime experiences: a tense, moving, at times almost miraculous story of Vienna at the Anschluss; Paris pre-war and under Nazi occupation; his two periods of incarceration in French concentration camps; contact with the Resistance; a failed attempt at escape to Switzerland; and a dramatic rescue followed by clandestine life in a mental asylum run by Franciscan nuns. Jamie Wraight is director of the Voice/Vision Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive and a senior lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Michigan- Dearborn, where he teaches courses in world, military and Holocaust history. He will discuss Asylum and the events of the Holocaust in France. 1:30 p.m. Joel Dimsdale: Anatomy of Malice Everyone was certain that the men on trial were psychopaths. They included Robert Ley, Hermann Göring, Julius Streicher and Rudolf Hess — men who were studied, interviewed, ana- lyzed at length by psychiatrists and psychologists at Nuremberg. But were they really evil — or ordinary people who behaved as they did because they were in a particular environment? Dr. Joel Dimsdale uses the latest developments in psychiatry, psychology and neuroscience to take a new look at Ley, Goring, Streicher and Hess. His surprising findings include a remarkably broad spectrum of pathology, taking readers on a complex and troubling quest to make sense of the most extreme evil. 6 p.m. Book Fair appearance by David Kinney Robert K. Wittman and David Kinney: The Devil's Diary Alfred Rosenberg was the "chief philosopher" of the Third Reich and one of the main authors of Nazi ideology. For 10 years, he kept a journal that offered a remarkable look at one of the most tumultuous times in history, including documents about the "Jewish question" and his views on other Nazi leaders. The last anyone had seen the journal was at the Nuremberg Trials. Then it landed in the hands of a prosecutor's mistress and an eccentric professor. An elaborate game of cat-and-mouse ensued until the diary was finally secured. The Devil's Diary is the story of the hunt for a WWII docu- ment that offers harrowing insights into the mind of one of the men who drove Germany to mass murder. 8 p.m. Neal Bascomb: The Winter Fortress: The Epic Mission To Sabotage Hitler's Atomic Bomb $12 ($10 for JCC members) In 1942, the Nazis needed just one thing to complete their work on an atomic bomb: Deuterium oxide, also known as heavy water.
