Teaching About Contemporary Antisemitism: 2021 ADL Audit of Antisemitic Incidents

Echoes & Reflections' webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

Utilizing the newly released results of the 2021 ADL Audit of Antisemitic Incidents, this webinar will discuss how antisemitism “is rarely the lone or last expression of intolerance in a society” (Samantha Power) and explore its many manifestations from Holocaust denial/distortion to anti-Israel bias and rhetoric.

Join Echoes & Reflections Director Melissa Mott for a look into Echoes & Reflections' Gringlas Unit on Contemporary Antisemitism to learn approaches, and instructional strategies to teach this topic. This interactive webinar will focus on the history of antisemitism in the US and offer primary sources and classroom activities to help guide instruction on how when antisemitism remains unchecked, it endangers our democracy and harms both Jews and damages society as a whole.
