The basketball game

a graphic novel
2022
"Nine-year-old Hart is attending Jewish summer camp for the first time. As if that isn't awkward enough, this summer the camp is going to play host to some very particular visitors, though the kids at camp don't know that yet. What everyone else knows is that in a nearby small town named Eckville a teacher by the name of Jim Keegstra was fired for spreading anti-Semitic views in his classroom, where he told his students that the Holocaust was a hoax and that Jews are trying to control the world. To make matters worse, he's also the nearby town's mayor. To help combat Keegstra's teachings, leaders and parents from both Eckville and the Jewish community decide that the best path forward is to invite the children taught by Keegstra to the summer camp for a day of fun and fellowship. What transpires in this comic-memoir by filmmaker Hart Snider is a basketball game for all-time"--Back cover.
