Claudio Saunt to Speak on Indian Removal and Mass DeportationHoney Massey’s nephew, Claudio Saunt, will give a lecture on Thursday, January 21 at 7:00 PM through the Siegal Lifelong Learning Program on “Indian Removal and Mass Deportation in the Modern Era” (via Zoom). Explore the history of Indian Removal in the context of other mass deportations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Join Professor Saunt to look at the US-sponsored expulsion of the Indian population in the 1830s forcing them westward, creating something of a model for colonial empires around the world including the infamous deportations of World War II. Notoriously, during the Nazi conquest of Eastern Europe, Hitler equated “indigenous inhabitants” with “Indians” and declared “the Volga River must be our Mississippi.” This lecture is offered in conjunction with Beth El –The Heights Synagogue. Cost $5 for members, $10 for non-members; register at https://www.lifelonglearningcleveland.org/public/Course/browse?courseid=26778.
