\n

The event was held at the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum in Washington, DC, home of the historic National Woman's Party. <\/P>
\n

Symposium discussions focused on Jewish women and the significant role they played in the suffrage and equal rights movement \u2013 their conviction and determination, which changed both the Jewish community and America forever. <\/P>

\n

In particular, talks centred on the founder of the National Woman's Party and leader in the international women\u2019s movement, Alice Paul, who helped the Muller family escape the Holocaust and find safe refuge in the United States. Participants were invited to take part in a discussion about how stories like the Mullers\u2019 influence the way one thinks about the Holocaust, the role of woman in social change and the importance of moral courage.<\/P>
