“Fascism and Anti-Semitism, Then and Now.”

Judge Bruce Einhorn

-   Brief Description of the Presentation:  "I'll speak to my experience as a Nazi war crimes prosecutor during the Cold War in Europe and the Soviet Union.....and my post-1990 experience as a professor of international and refugee law and an activist with the Anti-Defamation League.  If anything, authoritarianism, white and Christian nationalism and anti-Semitism, especially in the US, are on the rise since the fall of the USSR.  Why?"
