Amid the dangerous surge in antisemitism at home, abroad, and online, it has never been more important that we come together as a community and share the lessons of the Holocaust.

Today, hate groups increasingly exploit antisemitic myths, racism, and conspiracy theories—often directly inspired by Nazi ideology. Holocaust history warns of what can happen when such threats go unchecked.

Join us in person or virtually as we discuss the dangers posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what we can do to safely challenge them in these difficult times.

Moderator
Dr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

Panelist
Vidhya Ramalingam, Founder and CEO, Moonshot

Event Chairs
Tracey and Dave Horwich
