92 Street Y Livestream: Ghosts of Holy War

Award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz traces the 1929 massacre of Jews in Hebron—a pivotal moment in the Arab-Israeli conflict. Drawing on newly uncovered letters and interviews with Israelis and Palestinians living in Hebron today, she shows how the events of 1929 continue to reverberate, including after October 7, 2023. The book is now being adapted into a feature film by Crystal City Entertainment.
