Lawyer Abigail Gersten defends the 1st amendment right to free speech. Her new client, Professor Bernard Cooper, is a Holocaust denier. As relevant today as it was when first written, this play asks the question in Abigail’s own words: “...if I had to make a stand, if I had to make a choice between what was easy and what was right, what would I do?”

A discussion and light refreshments follow the play reading. Recommended for ages 13 and up. --

This presentation is generously hosted by: North Suburban Synagogue Beth El and co-sponsored by the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
