“The Levys of Monticello” is a documentary film that tells the little-known story of the Levy family, which owned and carefully preserved Monticello for nearly a century – far longer than Jefferson or his descendants. The remarkable story of the Levy family also intersects with the rise of antisemitism that runs throughout the course of American history. This short documentary will be followed by a discussion with Leslie Harris, professor of history and Daniel Greene, adjunct professor of history at Northwestern and film director Steve Pressman.
