The meetings on Capitol Hill preceded the promotion of Ari Mittleman’s book, “Paths of the Righteous: Stories of Heroism, Humanity and Hope” organized by one of the most prestigious and influential American lobbying organizations “The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC)”. The event was attended by several dignitaries from the White House, Senate, Congress and more. In the book, Mittleman describes nine exceptional people from around the world who have contributed to building bridges of understanding between people and raised their voices to protect the vulnerable, all the while emphasizing their collaboration with Israel and the Jewish people. One chapter in the book is dedicated to a Croatian scientist and physician of world renown, Prof. Dr. Dragan Primorac.

The book aroused immense interest in the American public, and the American magazine Washington Diplomat dedicated a striking article. Commenting on the book, Senator Joseph Lieberman noted, “It is a successful and inspiring read of Ari Mittleman’s book about nine people who set out on the path of justice and harmony in the twenty-first century. In this book, the author shows that we must not underestimate anti-Semitism, that we must believe that people of goodwill can act together and defeat hypocrisy.”
