FIGHTING THE FIRES OF HATE: AMERICA AND THE NAZI BOOK BURNINGS
An exhibition exploring the front lines in the “war of ideas” between democracy and fascism.
On May 10, 1933, university students across Nazi Germany burned thousands of books in an ominous “cleansing” of the “un-German spirit” from German culture. This exhibit explores how the book burnings became a potent symbol in America’s battle against Nazism and why they continue to resonate with the public today. Information: ushnn.org/bookburning

DO WORDS KILL? HATE SPEECH, PROPAGANDA, AND INCITEMENT TO GENOCIDE
The root causes of hatred and racism have not changed, but technology has advanced ways to disseminate hate speech and incitement to violence. Learn when hate speech crosses the line to “dangerous speech,” where such speech is a threat today, and what can be done to counter it without restricting freedom of expression.

ISRAELI PEACE ACTIVIST, AUTHOR, JOURNALIST ON TOUR IN MONTANA AND WYOMING
For those who can make it, Israeli peace activist, author, and columnist for the Jerusalem Post, Gershon Baskin, will be in Bozeman on the afternoon and evening of November 8, in Missoula on the afternoon of November 9, and in Jackson Hole on November 10. Gershon is probably best known for negotiating the release of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, which negotiations became the subject of a well-known book. We were able to bring him here through the partnership of the three communities.
The information about the Bozeman talks (one free and open to the public, one with dinner by RSVP) is at http://www.bethshalombozeman.org. If there are those from other Montana Jewish communities that wish to attend, we can try to assist with housing. The information about the Missoula talk has been put up by Laurie on Har Shalom’s facebook page.
