- April 19, 3:30 p.m.: Alma Heckman (History and Jewish Studies, UC Santa Cruz), will discuss "North African Jews and the Holocaust" in the library, room 3212.
- April 25, 6 p.m.: Denial (US, 2016). Based on the acclaimed book Denial: Holocaust History on Trial, the film recounts Deborah E. Lipstadt’s (Academy Award® winner Rachel Weisz) legal battle for historical truth against David Irving (BAFTA nominee Timothy Spall), who accused her of libel when she declared him a Holocaust denier. In the English legal system, in cases of libel, the burden of proof is on the defendant, therefore it was up to Lipstadt and her legal team, led by Richard Rampton (Academy Award® nominee Tom Wilkinson), to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.
