Join us for a powerful one-hour CSP online event with award-winning journalist Yardena Schwartz as she discusses her compelling new book, Ghosts of a Holy War: The 1929 Massacre in Palestine That Ignited the Arab-Israeli Conflict. Sparked by a box of century-old letters found in a Memphis attic, Schwartz uncovers the story of a young American Jew killed in the 1929 Hebron massacre—a little-known but pivotal moment that she argues became ground zero for a conflict still raging today. Drawing from deeply personal archival material, wide-ranging interviews, and decades of context, Schwartz weaves a gripping and even-handed narrative that connects the past to the present, shedding new light on the events of October 7, 2023, and the enduring struggle for peace in the land both Israelis and Palestinians call home.
