Womens' History Month: Deborah Lipstadt

In honor of Womens’ History Month I will be sharing quotes from some of the amazing women that I believe are making significant impact in the world.

Deborah Lipstadt is a historian who has been at the forefront of fighting antisemitism and hatred for decades. She may be known best for her book “History on Trial: My Day in Court with a Holocaust Denier” which was adapted into a movie starring Rachel Weisz. 

I had the pleasure of hearing her speak a few years ago about the historic roots of antisemitism and all the ways it manifests today with a common thread throughout history. 

I heard her speak on Friday night, October 26, 2018. I will never forget the date because the next morning, we awoke to the news of the shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. A horrifying display of antisemitism and hatred.

Women like Deborah Lipstadt shine a light on this hatred so we can all recognize it and stop it in its tracks. So that we can all do our parts to creating a truly HEALTHY society where hatred has no place.
