Antisemitism Did Not End with the Holocaust

We need to learn from Holocaust history to help us better understand our world and to inspire people to stand up to hate.

Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial

Antisemitism is prejudice against or hatred of Jews. The Holocaust, the state-sponsored persecution and murder of European Jews by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, is history’s most extreme example of antisemitism. Violent antisemitism and hatred did not end with the defeat of Nazi Germany. It is important to stand up to antisemitism in all of its forms today.
