I could have listened to him for at least another hour. It was a fascinating presentation!

Speaker was great! Presentation thoughtfully included enough time at the end for questions, which enhanced the presentation with additional information. Thank you for thinking of such an intriguing topic in the series!

This was one of the best programs you have had. I think you said programs are not taped, but I think you would have given this one a A+++.

Parker Life Senior Living Attendee

I can’t give enough stars. This was wonderful and the questions were thoughtful and answered with the grace and ease of a wonderful presenter.

I thought this program was very interesting. I enjoy my local theater and never knew or even imagined all the ins and outs of putting on a show. I would definitely be interested in any other program by this presenter.”

“Your knowledge of the German American Bund and their history is second to none… Your expertise, both from a historical and research perspective and also in the field, enabled us to capture phenomenal footage for our project… thank you for appearing in our film.”

Annette Baumeister
Documentary Film Director ('The American Führer')

“James Calaski’s gifts as a historian, coupled with his innate skills as a police detective, bring a unique perspective to his work. He is thorough in his research, always going to those places where the facts lead. All that, plus Jim’s personable style and good sense of humor make him an ideal presenter for any group event.”

Arnie Bernstein
Author of 'Swastika Nation: Fritz Kuhn and the Rise and Fall of the German-American Bund'

FANTASTIC !!! She is an incredible lecturer. Only wish more time could have been spent on each segment of her presentation. Left me wishing for more. The blend of history and literature was so interesting and informative.

Lectures
INCLUDE

Archaeology In Israel: Then And Now

One of the most exciting places for archaeological excavations, Israel provides depth and breadth on the human experience from the most ancient of times to the present. Highlighting three key moments in human history – the rise of agriculture, the Israelite kingdom, and the revolt against empire – archaeology illuminates what happened and encourages us to ask why

Indigenous Archaeology: Tracing Jewish Life Through The Millennia In The Land Of Israel

The Jewish people have a very ancient history in the land that is today the State of Israel. The Jewish claim to indigeneity is based on a three-thousand-year-old continuous history and the centrality of the land as the focus of Jewish yearning and practices. The archaeological evidence is visual, tactile, place-based, and scientific, offering important lessons about heritage for Jews and on archaeology as an avenue for Indigenous rights.

The Archaeology Of Ancient Civilizations Of Eastern North America: Mississippian, Iroquoian, Calusa

The robust history of the cities and societies of eastern North America rivals the other better-known ancient civilizations. Exploring the findings from Cahokia and other Mississippian cities, the ways of life for the Iroquois and Calusa societies, and the enduring traditions of Native America expands our understanding of human heritage and illustrates archaeology as a path to healing the divides of history.

High-Tech Archaeology Today: New Ways To See The Past

With pick and shovel, trowel and brush are the traditional ways archaeologists have revealed the past, digging up the dirt to find artifacts and insights into human history. New high-tech approaches are showing even more aspects of the past, without disturbing the soil and providing innovative ways to show objects, architecture, and landscapes on our screens.
