What happens when a Jew saves only his family and a few others during the Holocaust and then comes to the defense of a Nazi after the war? Ultimately, he makes Aliyah after the war and in 1957 is assassinated.
We will watch the film Killing Kasztner about all this and hear from Mordecai Paldiel, a survivor and head of the Righteous Gentiles department at Yad V’Shem and a world-famous Holocaust scholar. We will question whether he collaborated or acted honorably as best as circumstances warranted. All are welcome.

World Famous Author Naomi Ragen and Dr. Efraim Zuroff in Conversation: The Murderers Next Door…And the Scourge of Holocaust Distortion
Sunday, December 3, 2023
Join us in person at the Schaefer Family Campus
7:00 pm
How could 212,000 of the 220,000 Jews in Lithuania have been slaughtered during the Holocaust when only 1,000 German troops and SS were stationed in the country? The answer: Nazi collaborators. It’s a history that Lithuania and other countries have been eager to ignore, deny or dismiss out of hand. Exposing that truth to force national reckonings is at the heart of the work of Holocaust historian Dr. Efraim Zuroff, the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s chief Nazi hunter, and bestselling author Naomi Ragen’s new novel, The Enemy Beside Me. All are welcome.
$36 Priority Seating, includes a copy of The Enemy Beside Me by Naomi Ragen
