A report on the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh where, a year ago, the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in U.S. history took place. As survivors struggle to make sense of the attack, Christian and Muslim neighbors feel compelled to help the recovery process. Stahl speaks with those closest to the event, observing their attempts to heal. Many feel President Trump's failure to denounce white supremacy has contributed to an increase in hate crimes, including the anti-Semitic attack carried out in Pittsburgh. Includes interviews with Rabbi Jeffrey Myers of Tree of Life; Andrea Mender, a survivor who lost her mother to the shooting; Dan Leger, a member of the Dor Hadash congregation who was wounded attempting to help at Tree of Life; Rabbi Jonathan Perlman of the New Light congregation; Laurie Zitrain-Eisenberg, a congregant and historian who is cataloguing gifts from those looking to help; Miri Rabinowitz, Doctor Jerry Rabinowitz' widow; Sharyn Stein, whose husband, Dan, was killed at Tree of Life; Ellen, Dan Leger's wife; Wasi Mohamed, lay leader of the Islamic Center of Pittsburgh; Ellen Surloff, Eve Wider, and Donna Coufal, members of Dor Hadash advocating for stricter gun laws; and Stephen Cohen, co-president of New Light with Rabbi Perlman and his wife Beth Kissileff.
