A lecture Friday, Nov. 18, will discuss how Holocaust distortion — rhetoric that serves to excuse, minimize, or misrepresent the known historical record —leads to anti-Semitic narratives.

Sponsored by the Windsor Law Jewish Students’ Association and the UWindsor Office of the Vice-President, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in observance of Holocaust Education Week, the event will take place over Zoom from noon to 1:30 p.m.
