MONDAY, MARCH 7, 2022 | 7:30 PM
In her latest book, acclaimed author Dara Horn explores a pointed question: Why do far too many people seem to love dead Jews, but ignore the living ones? In 2022, the Holocaust continues to make headlines, fill our films and fiction, and generate extraordinary interest far beyond our community. Yet ignorance and indifference towards Jew-hatred today seems to be higher than ever. What’s going on?
As donors who made a generous gift of $5,000 or more to the 2021 Annual Campaign, you are invited to a moderated conversation with the author of one of the most talked-about books in the Jewish world today, People Love Dead Jews: Reports from a Haunted Present. Our moderator will be Dara Solomon, Executive Director of the Ontario Jewish Archives and Neuberger Holocaust Education Centre.
