Join the Jewish Public Library Archives for a special one-night-only exhibition and author talk featuring Can Posters Kill? — the powerful new book by Jerry Faivish with Kathryn Cole, published by Second Story Press. By decoding how images and words are used to spread hate, readers learn how to spot and resist manipulation—a vital skill in today’s fast-moving digital world.

🗣️ Author Talk

Author Jerry Faivish will be joined by Dr. Ula Madej-Krupitski for a thought-provoking conversation about how propaganda shaped the Second World War—and how those same tactics still influence the way we think and communicate today.

🎨 Exhibition

Explore the Art Lounge at the Segal Centre, where you’ll see striking posters from Jerry’s personal collection, along with rare materials from the JPL Archives, the Montreal Holocaust Museum, and the Dora Wasserman Yiddish Theatre.

💭 About the Book

Can Posters Kill? asks a haunting question: how did Hitler and the Nazi Party convince millions that genocide was justified? Through rare and historic posters, the book takes readers on a visual journey from early antisemitic imagery to the deadly propaganda of Nazi Germany. Books will be available for purchase thanks to Bertrand Bookstore.
