2024 Kristallnacht Commemoration: Rethinking Antisemitism in Our Times
Monday, November 11, 2024, at 6:00pm EST

Against the backdrop of the troubling rise in antisemitism around the world, a complex debate about how to define what is known as the oldest hatred continues unabated. On the anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom that took place November 9 and 10, 1938, join us for a conversation about the importance of rethinking how we study antisemitism, including what does and does not work featuring Dr. Magda Teter, Professor of History and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University and one of the scholars consulted on President Biden’s National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.

The event is organized by the Harriet & Kenneth Kupferberg Holocaust Center (KHC) and is co-sponsored by the Holocaust, Genocide & Interfaith Education Center at Manhattan University; the Center for the Study of Genocide & Human Rights at Rutgers University; the Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center in White Plains; the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity Western Washington University; and the Sam and Frances Fried Holocaust and Genocide Academy at the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
