Description:
On the night of October 1–2, 1943, during Rosh HaShanah, the Jewish New Year, German Nazi forces set out to capture more than 7,000 Jews in Denmark and deport them to their deaths. Yet something unexpected happened that almost completely foiled the plan. As a result, approximately 99% of Denmark’s Jewish community survived the Holocaust.
How did this happen? What role did the Jews of Denmark play in their own survival? How did Danish society respond, and what role did the German forces in Denmark themselves play? Join Yiftach Meiri, Yad Vashem educator, to explore these questions and uncover the remarkable story of the rescue of Denmark’s Jews.

He served in four governments as minister and deputy prime minister. He has received numerous honors, including the Israel Prize, the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor.

Description:
Antisemitism has persisted for centuries by continually adapting ancient conspiracy theories to fit new social, political, and cultural contexts. This webinar will trace the evolution of antisemitic myths from medieval accusations of secret power, devil worship, and ritual harm to modern conspiracy narratives that repackage these same themes through contemporary events and public figures. We will examine how media ecosystems help preserve and renew these narratives, revealing how remarkably old ideas continue to shape modern antisemitism.
Led by Brian Hughes, PhD, Director of USC Shoah Foundation's Countering Antisemitism Lab, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the historical roots of antisemitic conspiracy theories, how they evolve and endure across generations, and why they remain so resilient today.
