How Holocaust Education Shapes Young People's Views of Antisemitism and Israel

And, you know, I think, unfortunately, the very smart, I think, bet that we made on Holocaust

education to serve as anti-Semitism education, in this new media environment, I think that

is beginning to break down a little bit because, you know, Holocaust education is absolutely

essential.

But I think it may be confusing some of our young people about anti-Semitism because they

learn about big, strong Nazis hurting weak, emaciated Jews.

And they think, oh, anti-Semitism is like anti-Black racism, right?

Powerful white people against powerless Black people.

So when on TikTok all day long they see powerful Israelis hurting weak, skinny

Palestinians, it's not surprising that they think, oh, I know the lesson of the Holocaust

is you fight Israel. You fight the big, powerful people hurting the weak people.
