Antisemitism: The 1930s and 1940s in America vs. Today
Tuesday, Oct. 25, 12-1 p.m.
This fall’s conversation about antisemitism stems from our previous years’ workshops on Antisemitism 101: From Ancient World to the Internet, facilitated by Michael Korolenko and Michael Pulido.
Participants in those workshops wanted to learn more about how today’s antisemitic landscape in the United States compares to the 30s and 40s. In this discussion, Michael Korolenko will take us from the antisemitic rantings of Father Coughlin and Charles Lindberg, quota systems, and the refusal to let Jewish refugees attempting to escape Hitler’s German into the United States to today’s online hate groups and actual Republican candidates, congresspeople, and musicians spouting off antisemitic hatred. Michael will engage us in conversation about how antisemitism in America today is as bad as it was during the 30s and early 40s and what we can do to understand it and intervene.
