Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial in the Contemporary World

Speaker: Dr. Robert S. Wistrich (z"l) Affiliation: Director, The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism (SICSA), Hebrew University, Jerusalem Title: "Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial in the Contemporary World" Location: Yale University, New Haven, CT Date: February 19, 2009 Description: Dr. Robert S. Wistrich (z"l) maintains that as the number of those who witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust are diminishing by the years, the challenges of communicating the atrocities of the Holocaust to the next generation are becoming exceedingly difficult. Many today, including teenagers, have been exposed to the literature of Holocaust denial and are becoming highly skeptical that such horrific brutalities had been committed against the Jews. Dr. Wistrich maintains that despite intense efforts of commemoration and education, the current generation is severely lacking in both the knowledge and understanding to effectively combat modern manifestations of antisemtisim.
