Panel Discussion, USHMM: Antisemitism in Contemporary Europe
|
THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 2:30–4:30 p.m.
Helena Rubinstein Auditorium
U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum
More than 65 years after the end of World War II, antisemitism remains an active and growing force around the world. The resurgence of antisemitism in Europe, where the Holocaust occurred, is particularly striking as are the variety of forms this hatred has taken. The Museum is hosting a panel of researchers from Germany, Hungary, and Poland to examine recent manifestations of antisemitism in Europe, the motivations behind them, and their implications.
