SUMMARY:NCHE - Where Did Antisemitism Come From? Teaching the History of European Antisemitism
DESCRIPTION:Where does antisemitism come from? This is a question that students often ask when learning about the Holocaust. The phenomenon of antisemitism is over 2\,000 years old. Usually\, however\, courses that deal with the Holocaust do not look to consider pre-20th century history. Through primary sources and historical details\, this session outlines the larger context of antisemitism and offers the content teachers need to help students understand the origins and history of this form of hatred\, as well as how it has persisted and is present in modern expressions. \nThis workshop is in partnership with NCHE. Registration is required to attend. \nRegister Here
