About This Event
75 years after the defeat of Nazi Germany, anti-Jewish bigotry and violence are on the rise around the world. From the shootings in Ile-de-France, Pittsburgh, and New Jersey, to the thousands of incidents that go unreported, antisemitic hate crimes have surged over the last few years. What drives this global resurgence of antisemitic tropes and violence? Has the world forgotten where discrimination and hatred, unchecked, could lead? Join us virtually as the Chicago Council on Global Affairs convenes a panel of experts to discuss contemporary antisemitism, and what can be done to defeat it.
