What Is Antisemitism

Antisemitism

Antisemitism is prejudice against or hatred of Jews. Learn more about the history of the word and Nazi antisemitism in the Holocaust Encyclopedia.

IHRA definition

In 2016, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, an intergovernmental organization, adopted a Working Definition of Antisemitism to guide its work and educate and sensitize others to the need to confront antisemitism. Since its adoption, the Museum has encouraged support for the definition.
