WORLD WITHOUT GENOCIDE GALA MAY 23
Tanya Gersh will speak about receiving hundreds of death threats from neo-Nazis at World Without Genocide’s benefit gala on May 23, 2023.
Tanya Gersh, a Jewish real estate agent, was targeted by followers of The Daily Stormer, a far-right neo-Nazi online publication calling for the genocide of Jews. The site’s founder, Andrew Anglin, incited his followers to harass Gersh, her husband, and their young son after accusing Gersh of extortion.
In April 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit on Gersh’s behalf against Anglin, alleging that he had intentionally inflicted emotional distress. In November 2017, a federal judge ruled that Anglin’s harassment campaign was not protected as free speech and Anglin was ordered to pay $14 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Registration for the gala, to be held in Edina, Minnesota, is open to the public at www.worldwithoutgenocide.org/gershevent
World Without Genocide at Mitchell Hamline School of Law promotes education and action to protect innocent people, prevent genocide, prosecute perpetrators, and remember those affected by genocide. World Without Genocide is formally associated with the UN Department of Global Communications and is in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council since 2022.
