Little attention has been paid to Palmyra's Jewish history and in particular the early attempts of Julius Euting to document it in 1883.

Join Adam Blitz as he discusses the Jewish legacy of Palmyra: the UNESCO World Heritage site located in the Syrian desert at the crossroads of the Hellenistic, Roman and Parthian empires.

With a montage of video footage, slides, maps and architectural plans this talks seeks to locate Palmyra's Jewish past within its maps and archaeological - and increasing political - setting.

Adam Blitz is a Fellow of the Royal Anthropological Institute, London and a former Fullbright scholar. A member of PEN International, he has published in scholarly publications and Ha'aretz, Jerusalem Post, Aeon Magazine and The Times of Israel.
