Pamela Mann to Discuss Case that Inspired Play about Preservation of Religious Books from Nazi Era

//less than a minute

On March 20th, 2022, Carter Ledyard Tax-Exempt Organizations Chair Pamela Mann will participate in a panel discussion at the Jewish Theological Seminary following a staged reading of The Spanish Prayer Book, a play inspired by Abrams v. Sotheby’s, a case that Ms. Mann litigated when she was Chief of the Charities Bureau of the New York Attorney General’s office under former AG Robert Abrams. The case challenged the sale at auction of rare Hebrew books and manuscripts that had belonged to a Berlin rabbinical seminary closed by the Nazis in 1942. The case ultimately settled, facilitated by a substantial infusion of cash from two anonymous donors, and all of the books and manuscripts were returned to public institutions.
