(St. Paul, MN; May 4, 2023) Tanya Gersh will speak about receiving hundreds of death threats from neo-Nazis.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tanya Gersh, a Jewish real estate agent, was targeted by followers of The Daily Stormer, a far-right neo-Nazi online publication calling for the genocide of Jews. The site\u2019s founder, Andrew Anglin, incited his followers to harass Gersh, her husband, and their young son after accusing Gersh of extortion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In April 2017, the Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit on Gersh\u2019s behalf against Anglin, alleging that he had intentionally inflicted emotional distress. In November 2017, a federal judge ruled that Anglin\u2019s harassment campaign was not protected as free speech and Anglin was ordered to pay $14 million in compensatory and punitive damages.<\/p>\n
