Speakers include Lenard Zachem, Dan Yankelovich, Angus Thuermer, Daniel Schorr, Richard C Hottelet, Irving Dilliard, David Ginsburg, Oscar Gass, Col. Bernard Bernstein, Deborah Lipstadt, and Richard Breitman. Yankelovich, a social scientist, begins the conference by illustrating the state of Jewish relations in the US through the use of polling data beginning in 1935.
