Legacy & Impact: How Soviet Union Propaganda Still Affects Us

Wednesday, May 20 | 7PM @ The Kaiserman JCC

Join us at the Kaiserman JCC on Wednesday, May 20 at 7PM for a 25 minute screening of the award winning "A Special Russian Truth" immediately followed by an intimate expert interview of human rights activist Dalia Ziada conducted by Liz Berger of Gratz College. A Special Russian Truth traces the origins of modern anti-Israel rhetoric to a decades-old Soviet campaign of antisemitic propaganda disseminated by the KGB and its allies worldwide.

Attendees can expect to:

Learn about how propaganda works at global and community levels and its effects on social institutions
Recognize common tactics and methods of guided thinking
Develop a deeper understanding of how to discuss complex topics and appreciate nuance without transgressing into known antisemitic concepts
Understand how modern day anti-Israel dialogues often incorporate traditional antisemitic themes
Understand how to bridge social gaps for Jews and non-Jews through honest inquiry, shared values and mutual understanding of current conflicts and complex geopolitical situations
