Holocaust Denial – what Role should the Law Play?
With Professor Aleksandra Gliszczynska-Grabias, chaired by Natasha Hausdorff
On Monday 25 November 2024 at 6pm UK Time
(8pm Israel, 7pm Europe, 1pm USA East Coast)

This webinar will discuss Holocaust distortion in two perspectives: (1) “regular” distortion via memory laws and (2) current distortion in the context of the 7/10 pogrom and its aftermath. Can and should law be used to counteract such distortion and denial?
