 During the Holocaust, acts of rescue were rare, with only a small number of individuals daring to risk their freedom and lives to save Jews from Nazi persecution. Those who did, driven by a selfless spirit, are honored as the "Righteous Among the Nations" by Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center. Join author Richard Hurowitz for an engaging discussion about the remarkable heroes featured in his book, In the Garden of the Righteous, who risked everything to save Jewish lives during the Holocaust.

Antisemitism has persisted for centuries, adapting to different eras but always based on a few dozen core conspiracy theories. This webinar will trace the historical arc of antisemitism, exploring how age-old prejudices evolved across time and place, how conspiracy theories about Jewish people have fueled violence and exclusion, and why these narratives continue to resurface in today’s social and political climate. Led by Brian Hughes, PhD, Director of USC Shoah Foundation’s Countering Antisemitism Lab, we will examine the role that media plays in both preserving and renewing these theories, bringing the world’s oldest hatred in line with modern culture and current events.
