Join the Museum’s community in Chicago to learn more about our urgent work to keep Holocaust memory alive in a challenging world. We last gathered to commemorate the institution’s first quarter century; in 2019, we will explore the challenges and opportunities of the next 25 years.

Featured speaker Deborah E. Lipstadt will discuss her new book, Antisemitism: Here and Now. Lipstadt, first chair of the Museum’s committee on Holocaust denial and state-sponsored antisemitism, has examined the resurgence of this ancient hatred and what can be done about it.

Copies of Antisemitism: Here and Now will be available for purchase and signing by the author.
