Antisemitism Racism
Civic Education

After a Jewish community in Pittsburgh was rocked by a violent antisemitic attack, the larger community came together to support their neighbors and speak out against hate. Facing History and Ourselves is partnering with Not In Our Town to develop a viewing guide for the documentary Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life. This viewing guide is designed for educators to use with clips from the film to explore various topics about antisemitism and rising above hate with their students. During this webinar, Repairing the World film director Patrice O’Neill discussed the making of the film and its implications in the fight against antisemitism and racism.
