The Mark and Gail Appel Program in Holocaust and Antiracism Education at York University is pleased to present two lectures by Anthony Julius, an eminent British lawyer, academic, and public intellectual, who successfully defended historian Deborah Lipstadt against Holocaust denier David Irving. Julius also represented Princess Diana.

Saturday, February 13th, 8 pm – “Holocaust Denial – What’s the Point?”

Sunday, February 14th, 2:30 pm – “How Can Good Literature Be Bad for the Jews?”

Both lectures will take place in Founders College Assembly Hall (building # 50 on map found here).

A visiting professor at Birkbeck College, University of London, Julius participated in the Metropolitan Police Race and Faith Inquiry and has actively opposed boycotts of Israel. His first book was T.S. Eliot, Anti-Semitism and Literary Form. His newest book, Trials of the Diaspora: A History of Anti-Semitism in England, will be available for signing at the lectures.

The Mark and Gail Appel Program brings together future educators from Canada, Germany, and Poland
to study the past and teach towards a better future. It is a joint initiative of the Israel and Golda Koschitzky
Centre for Jewish Studies and the Canadian Centre for German and European Studies at York University.
