Description:
On October 27, 2018, America and the world recoiled in horror as 11 Jews were murdered at prayer during Shabbat services inside the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh – the deadliest antisemitic attack in our nation’s history. In the three years since, American Jews have been subjected to a wave of antisemitic attacks, including during the conflict between Israel and Hamas this past May.
What are the sources of Jew-hatred in the United States in 2021? How do American Jews perceive and experience antisemitism? And what does the broader American public think? To answer these important questions and many others, join American Jewish Committee (AJC) for a hard-hitting discussion on the state of antisemitism in the United States today, with AJC Managing Director of Public Affairs Avi Mayer and U.S. Director for Combating Antisemitism Holly Huffnagle, in conversation with Chief Field Operations Officer Melanie Maron Pell.

An Evening with Dr. Robert Krell, Author
The Holocaust Teacher Institute at the University of Miami, School of
Education & Human Development is proud to announce the Leslie and
Susan Gonda (Goldschmied) Foundation Holocaust/Jewish themed Sunday
Salon Series.
A Unique Conversation with Two Child Survivors Dr. Robert Krell and Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff. Hear excerpts from this Memoir about Dr. Krell's attending the Eichmann trial in Israel as well as being on a plane that was hijacked! You don't want to miss this program!
"I have long described child Holocaust survivors as "elderly children." We were forced to grow up overnight and lost pieces of childhood - of play and security, of comfort and predictability, of parental love and guidance. Those few of us fortunate to have survived have spent lifetimes catching up on what we missed.
"This account reflects the life journey of such a child determined to achieve a sense of normalcy, regain a Jewish identity, and confront the emotional legacy of the Shoah and the scourge of antisemitism." -Author/Child Survivor, Robert Krell
