Description: The Rebecca and Racob Grossman Foundation of the Jewish Public Library presents Ira Robinson in conversation with Pierre Anctil: "A History of Antisemitism in Canada"

At a time when antisemitism and issues related to it are very much in the public eye, Professor Ira Robinson's new book, A History of Antisemitism in Canada (Wilfred Laurier University Press) enables us to begin making sense of the plethora of ideas and opinions on this subject in the media. In this program, Professor Robinson, Chair of the Quebec and Canadian Studies at Concordia University, will be interviewed by Professor Pierre Anctil of the University of Ottawa. The conversation between Anctil and Robinson will cover a number of historical and contemporary issues related to antisemitism in Quebec and Canada at large. Questions from the audience will broaden the discussion.

Book sale and signing will also take place.
