Anti-religious sentiment is on the uptick in the United States and Europe. Education about and exposure to the world’s religious traditions is critical for students as they move towards becoming global citizens.

Where does antisemitism come from? This is a question that students frequently ask when learning about the Holocaust. Antisemitism (anti-Judaism before the modern era) is over 2,000 years old, but courses that cover the Holocaust often do not consider pre-20th century history. This session outlines the larger context of antisemitism throughout Europe and offers the content teachers need to help students understand the origins and history of the “longest hatred”. The session will examine the four intersecting historical forms of antisemitism – religious, economic, socio-political, and racial.
