Join us for a unique presentation by author Philippe Sands and pianist Guillaume de Chassy. Sands, an international human rights lawyer and professor, will speak about his award-winning book, East West Street: On the Origins of “Genocide” and “Crimes Against Humanity”. “East West Street is an exceptional memoir. Along the way, it underscores that it was Jewish lawyers, men with direct experience of persecution, who laid the foundations of international human rights law.” (The Guardian) This event is organized by the Montreal Holocaust Museum and the Jewish Public Library, made possible by the Paul and Babey Trepman Memorial Fund. General admission $15, members of the Jewish Public Library and students $10.
