Hatred and bias against Jews as a people or ethnic group has existed for thousands of years. The Holocaust, in which the Nazis and their collaborators murdered six million Jews in Europe, was one of the worst examples. But antisemitism didn’t start or end with the Holocaust, and antisemitism in the modern world is both a prelude to, and inextricably woven into, other forms of prejudice, bias, and hate. Together we will learn more about the deep roots of this bias, how it continues to affect our communities today, and what we can do to recognize and fight it.
