U.S. Sen. Harry Reid, in partnership with the UNLV William S. Boyd School of Law and the Nevada System of Higher Education, will welcome two of the foremost experts on anti-Semitism in America April 11 for a conversation at UNLV.

The discussion, featuring award-winning author/historian Deborah Lipstadt and acclaimed journalist Jonathan Weisman, will begin at 4 p.m. in UNLV’s Richard Tam Alumni Center. The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited and registration is required. Visit http://law.unlv.edu/events for more information or to register.

Lipstadt, the Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, is one of the nation’s leading scholars on anti-Semitism and served as a consultant to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C. She is the author of Antisemitism: Here and Now, which traces escalating expressions of anti-Semitism in the U.S. and Europe. Lipstadt’s work also includes History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier, which won the 2006 National Jewish Book Award and was the basis for the 2016 movie, “Denial.”

Weisman is a veteran Washington journalist with a career that spans more than 30 years. He is the deputy Washington editor at The New York Times, and author of (((Semitism))), a powerful book that captures his own experiences and examines the rise in anti-Semitism in America and what can be done to confront it. Weisman has also reported for The Baltimore Sun, The Washington Post, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, and others.
