Lecture at Stone Harbor Library: “Worse Than War”

Free (registration requested)

About

Join us for a presentation of Genocide, Eliminationism, and the Ongoing Assault on Humanity – a film by PBS and Daniel Jonah Goldhagen, author of the still controversial book, Hitler’s Willing Executioners.

Please note that graphic content may be shown.

Before showing Goldhagen’s film, Mr. Holden will first show a PowerPoint presentation about Goldhagen’s concept of Eliminationism and how it is still practiced on indigenous peoples around the world.

Do these concepts apply to regions in the world like the Middle East, Ukraine, and the Sudan in North Africa?

The film will be shown in its entirety and discussed in detail during the presentation.

If the War in Gaza is still raging at this time, the group will discuss the meanings of the words: “Genocide,” “War Crimes,” and “Crimes Against Humanity” as they relate to charges against Hamas and Israel.

All events are tentatively scheduled and subject to change. Please contact Stone Harbor Library to confirm any and all event details and updates.
