September 29, 1988 -- “New Director Appointed to
Lipinsky Institute,” San Diego Jewish Times, p. 30.
Scholar, author an educator, dr. Lawrence Baron, a professor of history
at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, ahs been appointed director of
San Diego State University’s Institute for Judaic Studies and Nasatir
Professor of Modern Jewish History beginning in the fall ’88 semester. Baron
replaces the acting director, Amyra Grossbard-Schechtman of the SDSU economics
department. Baron has rpoposed new plans and projects for the institute. He
hopes to develop Holocaust teacher training workshops for public school
teachers, initiate an archive of local Jewish history, establish a Jewish
education certification program and encourage the Lipinsky Institute to take a
broader, more active role in the community at large.
In addition, Baron says that he will wok to strengthen the Judaic studies
program generally and will continue New Perspectives in Judaic Studies lecture
series. He will also teach a class in modern Jewish history (History 488) which
will focus on the social, religious and intellectual life of European Jews from
the Middle Ages to the present; their political struggle for emancipation; and
antij0-Semitism, the Holocaust and the establishment of the state of Israel.
Baron comes to SDSU with a record of activism in both the university and
Jewish community, as well as a
solid background of scholarly activity. He
currently is involved in continuing research on the Altruistic Personality
Project, as an associate of its director, Dr. Samuel P. Oliner of Humboldt State
University. The study focuses on
non-Jewish rescuers of Jews during the Holocaust. It seeks to answer the
question of why some people will risk their lives to help total strangers while
others will passively stand by. In
a broader context, the findings have applicatoon to the general question of what
motivates people to pro-social behavior. Baron contributed a chapter of the
recently published book The Altruistic Personality, Rescuers of Jews in Nazi
Europe, and he cofounded a special edition of the Humboldt Journal of
Social Relations devoted to the theme, “Altruism and pro-Social
Behavior.” In 1987 a radio documentary he researched and wrote won an Ohio
State Award, which honors excellence in informational, educational and public
affairs broadcasting. The award was
for “Haven from the Holocaust: Oswego, N.Y., 1944-1946.” The program, broadcast
on National Public Radio affiliates, explores the only refugee camp established
in the United States during World War II. A
member of the American Historical Association and the Association for Jewish
Studies, Baron received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois
and his master’s and doctoral degrees from the University of Wisconsin.

January 3, 2003—Laurel Schwartz, "The
archival legacy of Rabbi Morton J. Cohn," San Diego Jewish
Press-Heritage, page 9: Have you ever thought about those old letters you
have tucked away in a drawer or your old school reports? How about the clippings
you¹ve been saving about your organization or about your own accomplishments?
These papers are your archival legacy. There is much to be learned from this
legacy. What stories will your personal papers tell when you're not here to tell
the stories yourself? On Sunday, Jan. 12, the Jewish Historical Society of San
Diego, in cooperation with Temple Emanu-El will offer an unusual glimpse into
one man's legacy when Bonnie Harris, historian and archivist for the Jewish
Historical Society of San Diego, presents "The Archival Legacy of Rabbi
Morton J. Cohn." Rabbi Cohn served the American Jewish community for more
than 60 years, 40
of which were spent in San Diego. He became the rabbi of Congregation Beth
Israel in 1946 and in 1964 he founded Temple Emanu-El, whose religious
school bears his name. Rabbi Cohn, along with his wife, Sally, kept meticulous
records of everything they did, wrote, attended, and everyone with whom they
corresponded. Rabbi Cohn also kept records of every life-cycle event at which he
officiated. This remarkable treasure for the Jewish community of
San Diego was donated to the Jewish Historical Society in 1996 by Morton Cohn,
Jr. and is housed at the society¹s archives at the Lipinsky Institute
for Judaic Studies in the Love Library on the campus of San Diego State
University. The Cohn Collection, the Society's largest collection, covers Rabbi
Cohn's early school days, his rabbinical studies, his World War II Navy
chaplaincy, his many interfaith endeavors, his long career as a rabbi and his
theatrical and comic performances with his congregants and rabbinic colleagues.
The wealth of his collection is hard to imagine and attendees will be able
to view some of the documents and photos in the collection during the program at
2 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 12, at Temple Emanu-El, 6299 Capri Drive
at the corner of Del Cerro Boulevard and College Avenue. Speaker Bonnie Harris
is a native Southern Californian and has lived in San Diego County for nearly 20
years. She received a B.A. degree with high honors from San Diego State
University. The Classics and Humanities Department made her their outstanding
graduate of the year. Then she earned a master's degree in history at SDSU with
a personal emphasis in Ancient Near Eastern History. She is currently the
archivist for the Jewish Historical Society of San Diego. She also works as the
assistant to Dr. Lawrence Baron
of the Lipinsky Institute for Judaic Studies. She has taught biblical history
for five years at a local Institute of Religion. After two years of extensive
preservation work on the collection of Rabbi Morton J. Cohn, Harris composed an
archival biographical essay about Rabbi Cohn's remarkable life, which will be
published in Western States Jewish History in early 2003.This lecture is a
milestone for the community. The Jewish Historical Society has been collecting
historical documents since 1996. Its archives was founded in 1999 and the
archives officially opened in 2000, the same year that the San Diego Jewish
community celebrated its 150th anniversary. This is the first time a paper has
been written and a lecture given based solely on materials found in the Jewish
Historical Society Archives. The purpose of this program will be not only to
remember a great Jewish leader, but to demonstrate the mission of the Archives
in preserving San Diego Jewish history and to explore how the information
contained there can benefit the community.The program is free and open to the
public. For more information contact me or my husband, Stanley Schwartz, at
