The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County’s David Taub Reel Upstanders Film Series presents a screening of the documentary “Documenting Hate: New American Nazis” on Sunday, March 15, at 1 p.m. at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center at Welwyn Preserve, 100 Crescent Beach Rd. in Glen Cove. Noted civil rights attorney Frederick K. Brewington will provide commentary and participate in a Q & A session.
“Documenting Hate: New American Nazis,” produced by Frontline and ProPublica, explores white supremacist groups in America, paying particular attention to a new-Nazi group called Atomwaffen Division. Continuing FRONTLINE and ProPublica’s reporting on violent white supremacists in the U.S., this joint investigation shows the group’s terrorist objectives and how it gained strength after the 2017 Charlottesville rally.

Raised in Lakeview, Brewington has become a respected lawyer and community advocate with a distinguished legal career.
