The History and Practices of Antisemitism

with Dr. Gingold

Join Dr. William Gingold, Holocaust survivor, on a discussion of the history and practices of antisemitism. Registration is required.

Antisemitism is often referred to as history’s oldest hatred and can be defined as strong hostility and hatred of Jews. The Holocaust (1939-45), often viewed as the most extreme example of antisemitism in contemporary times, is just one of many examples of this historic hatred which dates to ancient times and continued throughout much of Europe and elsewhere during the Middle Ages.

Throughout history, Jews have been denied citizenship and forced to live in confined areas known as ghettos. Anti-Jewish riots known as pogroms occurred throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, resulting in the death of countless Jews. It is important to note that antisemitism did not begin nor end with the rule of the Nazis in Germany and continues to rear its ugly head even in today’s world.
