Please join us for a conversation on understanding modern anti-Semitism in Europe. Following the tragic Charlie Hebdo, Toulouse and Copenhagen attacks, what is the current state of security for Jewish communities in Europe and what are the driving forces behind this surge in anti-Semitic violence? As economies weaken and a migration crisis grows, nationalist, populist, and xenophobic sentiment has increased across Europe. Are failed multicultural and integration policies, shifting demographics, and fading memories of the Holocaust to blame? What steps should governments and civil society take – beyond enhancing security at Jewish schools and synagogues – to bridge cross-cultural divides and enhance societal cohesion? Our panelists will help us understand the dynamics driving Europe's anti-Semitism as well as reflect on the difficulties that governments and societies face in combating this trend.
