What’s Old and What’s New in the “New Antisemitism”?
Since the turn of the century, we have been talking about “the new antisemitism”, but since October 7 it has intensified and grown.

In this lecture, Dr Robert Rozett from Yad Vashem will explore the historical context to 21st century antisemitism, and provide necessary background to a deeper understanding of recent events.
