Combating Antisemitism in Germany and Poland: Strategies since 1990 | A book discussion

Event description

  • Academic events
  • Open to the public
"In both Germany and Poland—primary locations of the Holocaust—the legacy of antisemitism remains a major obstacle to reconciliation with the past. [The author] Thomas Just asks: How does antisemitism typically manifest in these countries? What counterstrategies are being employed? And with what effect? Addressing these questions, Just contributes to a deeper understanding of the disturbing influence of antisemitic hatred worldwide and identifies best practices to combat it."
