Echoes and Reflections: Contemporary Antisemitism
2022-02-23 16:00 - 18:00
Spotlight on Contemporary Antisemitism

Description
Read the news and it is clear: antisemitism is not a relic of the past, but a hatred the world struggles with today. It is important that educators have the resources and tools to feel prepared to talk about contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and hate with students. This learning opportunity explores classroom materials to support effective teaching of contemporary antisemitism, its global reach, and its expression in the form of hate speech, violence, denial, and distortion of the Holocaust. Educators will also explore ways to support students’ commitment and ability to actively respond to and prevent antisemitism and other forms of prejudice in their communities.
This program is sponsored by Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center.
