“I travel the world watching television and selling programs to the most important broadcasters on the planet (BBC, Discovery, National Geographic) and I must say that Moses has built VisionTV into one of the world’s most prolific broadcasters of programs exposing mass atrocities, religious persecution and intolerance around the world.” – Simcha Jacobovici, Emmy Award winning director, producer, investigative journalist, TV host and New York Times best-selling author

theZOOMER: THE RISE OF ANTISEMITISM

It is beyond disheartening and soul crushing that a mere 78 years after the end of WWII brought with it astounding revelations of the full extent and horror of Nazi Germany’s attempt to exterminate the entire Jewish People to have to commission this episode on the widespread resurgence of overt demonization and harassment of Jews around the world. Libby Znaimer is joined by a panel of Jewish and non-Jewish clergy, and community activists to ask the questions why, why now and what is to be done?
With guests:
Irwin Cotler – International Human Rights Lawyer
Dara Horn – Author and Scholar of Hebrew Literature
Martin Himel – Documentary Filmmaker
