When Extremist Ideas Are No Longer Considered “Extreme”

Extremist beliefs and violence are on the rise. White supremacist and other hate groups exploit antisemitic myths, racism, and conspiracy theories often directly inspired by Nazi ideology. When hatred and deception go viral, they can appeal to more mainstream audiences. Holocaust history warns us of the violence that can follow when such threats go unchecked. 

Join the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) in person or virtually as they discuss the dangers posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to challenge them. This program is part of their award-winning Stay Connected Live series.
