About the event
Program: Join us while we examine the history and significant involvement of the Jewish men and women who fought with the Confederacy during the Civil War. Jewish participation included people from every State in the Confederacy who fought in numbers greater than the overall per capita Jewish population. It is sure to be another in a series of colorful and engaging talks by guest speaker Gregg Philipson.
Speaker: Gregg Philipson
Mr. Philipson lectures internationally on Jewish related subjects including the Holocaust, Propaganda Art, Jewish Military History and many other Jewish related topics. The “Gregg and Michelle Philipson Collection and Archive” is regularly exhibited at major museums, universities, colleges, schools as well as U.S. military installations.
He has assembled a large collection of artifacts including Jewish related military artifacts, Holocaust era material, WWII propaganda and much more.
In 2012 former Texas Governor Rick Perry appointed Mr. Philipson a Commissioner to the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission. He served under both former Texas Governor Rick Perry and current governor Greg Abbott. He served for many years as an advisory board member at the Holocaust Museum Houston. He is the 2019 recipient of the Jewish War Veterans Wolfson Award for outstanding community relations.
