The Harris Center for Judaic Studies is hosting the book launch for Bedross Der Matossian’s “Denial of Genocides in the Twenty-First Century” at 3 p.m. May 10 in the Chimney Rock Room of Nebraska Union.

Der Matossian edited the volume, which was published May 1 with Nebraska University Press. The book explores the denial of eight genocides through chapters written by scholars of those events. The launch will include a panel discussion covering the book’s themes. Panelists are Der Matossian, professor of history; Gerald Steinacher, Rawley Professor of History and contributor to the book; and Ari Kohen, director of the Harris Center and professor of political science.
