What happened when Jewish summer campers faced Holocaust denier Jim Keegstra’s students on the basketball court? A new graphic novel tells the tale

JL;DR SUMMARY The episode discusses the efforts of the Jewish community in Alberta to counteract the antisemitic teachings of Jim Keegstra through a unique and ambitious initiative involving a basketball game between Jewish campers and Keegstra's former students.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
