Greensburg, PA – On Monday, November 10 Seton Hill University will welcome speaker Yaacov Lozowick, Director of Archives at Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, and author of Right to Exist: A Moral Defense of Israel’s Wars.

In Right to Exist, Lozowick describes his evolution from liberal peace activist to reluctant supporter of Ariel Sharon. In making sense of his own political journey, Lozowick reexamines the history of Israel, tracing the long struggle to establish and defend the Jewish state in the face of implacable Arab resistance and widespread international hostility. Subjecting the country’s founders and their descendants to unsparing scrutiny, he concludes that, although far from perfect, Israelis have much to be proud of.

Lozowick’s lecture will take place at 7 p.m. in Lynch Auditorium at Seton Hill and is free and open to the public. For more information on the World Affairs Forum, please call Dr. John Spurlock, Professor of History and Chair of the Humanities Division at Seton Hill, at 724-830-1021.
