Presenters will explore the menace of this often-violent hatred and bigotry from a historical perspective to horrific present-day occurrences, including a discussion on activism based on a newfound vigilance and re-connection. The session will provide plenty of time for questions and reflection by audience members.

The presenters are Rabbi David Joslin, Beth Israel Temple, Plattsburgh; Tom Glaser, a family member of Holocaust survivors who will share a short video, “Surviving Evil;” Sue Semegram, board president, Lake Placid Synagogue; and Karen Glass, parent and advocate. Lake Placid News columnist Naj Wikoff will moderate.

The event is free and open to the public. The Keene Valley Congregational Church is located at 1791 Route 73.
