This year marks the 29th anniversary of the AMIA bombing, a terrorist attack which targeted the headquarters of the Argentine Jewish Mutual Association in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The attack claimed 85 lives, wounded over 300, and reduced the area around the building, the heart of Jewish life in Argentina, to rubble. The perpetrators behind this despicable act have still not been brought to justice.

Please join us on July 18, 2023 at the Berney Theatre at the Asper Jewish Community Campus for Remembering AMIA, a commemorative event in memory of the victims.

Featuring a presentation from Nitsana Darshan-Leitner, who will be speaking on her efforts to bankrupt terrorism, one lawsuit at a time. As an Israeli activist attorney, Nitsana has been leading the legal fight against Israel’s enemies in courts worldwide. She and her colleagues pioneered the strategy of combating terror financing, the anti-Israel boycott campaigns (BDS) and the multitude of lawfare threats against the Jewish State by its enemies using civil lawsuits.

Presented by the Jewish Federation of Winnipeg, B'nai Brith Canada and the Argentinean Manitoba Association.
