Community Event

Confronting Antisemitism: Communities Standing Up, Together

Join us for an essential conversation and panel discussion exploring the New York City community efforts to combat antisemitism.

May 01, 2023 | 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm EDT

New York, NY

Cost: Free

When one of us is targeted, we are all at risk. When one community is marginalized, all communities can, and must, respond.

Antisemitism is a millenniums-old hatred that is still very much with us today. In New York City and across the country, antisemitism and white supremacy have worked hand in hand to divide communities and make neighbors feel unwelcome and unsafe. How can we use education, community organizing, and social media to inspire young people - and changemakers of all ages - to build bridges across these divides and bring our city together?

Please join Facing History & Ourselves and the New York City Mayor's Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes for an essential and inspiring conversation exploring why antisemitism and white supremacy pose grave risks, and how communities can stand together to say: enough!

This event is generously supported by UJA Federation of New York

Research released by the Claims Conference found that 49% of U.S. millennials and generation Z have seen Holocaust denial or distortion content online—and that one in five U.S. millennials and generation Z surveyed in New York believe that Jews caused the Holocaust. This toxic combination of ignorance allied with antisemitic hatred continue to permeate global consciousness, and teachers have an important part to play in turning the tide.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is Thursday, January 27th. This is a day when we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, their loved ones, and the ways in which this incalculable tragedy has transformed our world. It is also a time for educators to ensure their readiness to integrate instruction on the Holocaust into their annual teaching plans.
