Library to hold special documentary
STEUBENVILLE — Classrooms without Boarders will hold a screening of the documentary film “The Cure for Hate,” from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 14 at the Public Library of Steubenville and Jefferson County’s Schiappa branch. Following the film, a question-and-answer session will be held with the film’s director, Peter Hutchison and former Skinhead-turned-anti-hate activist Tony McAleer.
Participants will explore the connection between historical hate and modern extremism, while gaining strategies for Holocaust education and fostering radical compassion, according to library officials.
As polarization deepens and youth face extremist ideologies, this event will feature community conversations on Holocaust denialism and the risks of online radicalization. Attendees will learn to understand hatred ‘s roots, resist “othering” and develop resilience against radicalization in our communities, officials stated. The program is free of charge. Registration is required in advance by calling (740) 264-6166.
