Guy Stern Festschrift
Ceremony Saturday
Exile and Enlightenment is
the title of a scholarly vol-
umeto be presented to Prof.
Guy Stern of Wayne State
University in a ceremony at
Meadowbrook Hall on Satur-
day. Two years in the making,
the book written in his honor
by outstanding scholars from
the U.S. and Europe will rec-
ognize "an eminent scholar
(and) inspiring teacher," who
is "biographically an exile and
intellectually a product of the
Enlightenment."
The festschrift, edited by
Stern's colleagues at Wayne
State University and at the
University of Cincinnati, his
former academic affiliation, is
being published by Wayne
State University Press.
Stern, former provost and
now distinguished professor at
Wayne State University and a
board member of local, na-
tional, and international
Jewish organizations, will re-
ceive this rare professional
honor on the occasion of his
65th birthday.
The volume mirrors the fight
for freedom and tolerance of
18th Century writers such as
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and
features the writings of Jewish
and non-Jewish authors exiled
from Nazi Germany. Included
among the former are Lion
Feuchtwanger, Hermann
Broch, Wolfgang Hil-
desheimer, Thomas Theodor
Heine, Alfred Neumann, Peter
Weiss, Lotte Paepcke, Albert
Ehrenstein and Arnold Rein-
frank; among the latter are
Bertolt Brecht, Thomas Mann,
Gunther Weisenborn, Alfred
Gong and the director Erwin
Piscator.
The presentation ceremony
will be highlighted by remarks
by Dr. Fred Grubel, director of
the Leo Baeck Institute of New
York, Rabbi Charles Rosen-
veig, director of the Holocaust
Memorial Center of. Detroit,
and by the reading of legisla-
tive resolutions by Michigan
Sen. Jack Faxon and Robert
Feigenbaum of Missouri,
Stern's first American resi-
dence after fleeing from Nazi
Germany in 1937.
The speakers will stress
Stern's academic achieve-
ments, his contributions to the
Holocaust Center, the Ameri-
can Jewish Committee, his 25
years' service to the Leo Baeck
Institute, and his active role as
executive member of the Kurt
Weill Foundation for Music.
(Last year Stern wrote a major
article on the composer which
explored Weill's music drama,
The Eternal Road, a saga of
Jewish suffering and survival
since the destruction of the
Temple.)
One of the citations will em-
phasize his participation in the
founding and fostering of the
Lessing Society and the
Society for Exile Studies as but
two examples of his lasting
contributions to humanistic
learning.
Other speakers include
Profs. Hans-Georg Richert and
Edward Paxton Harris of the
Guy Stern
University of Cincinnati;
Profs. Walter Hinderer of
Princeton University; Goetz
von Boehmer, Counsul Gen-
eral of the Federal Republic of
Germany; and Dr. Eva Dan-
necker, director of the Goethe
Institute of Ann Arbor; and
Judge Damon Keith.
Prof. Marvin Schindler, for
many years chairman of
Wayne State's Department of
Romance and Germanic Lan-
guages, will preside.-
Critics Hail
Lopatin Book
A former Detroiter has re-
ceived critical acclaim for her
first book of Modern Romances
(Fiction Collective). Both the
New York Times and the Vil-
lage Voice gave favorable re-
views to Judy Lopatin's book,
which breaks away from the
modern mode of romantic tales
in a series of portraits about
"quirky" people.
A New York resident, Lopa-
tin is the daughter of Irving
and Dorothy Lopatin of Bir-
mingham. She is a graduate of
Groves High School and the
University of Michigan, and
earned her master's in creative
writing at Columbia in 1979.
