On October 27, 2018, a gunman opened fire inside the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, killing 11 people and injuring seven others. The victims were all members of the Jewish community, and the shooting was motivated by anti-Semitism.

We hear from the survivors, who recount the horror of the attack and the long road to recovery. We hear from the families of the victims, who share their grief and their memories of their loved ones.

The Tree of Life Synagogue Shooting and the Soul of a Neighborhood is a powerful and moving account of a senseless act of violence. But it is also a story of hope and resilience. In the face of tragedy, the community of Pittsburgh came together to support one another and to rebuild their lives.
