Innovative Approaches to Countering Antisemitism

We are expanding our efforts to record testimonies from those who have experienced antisemitism and launching new research initiatives to understand and counter the global resurgence in antisemitism.

Documenting The Terror Attacks

We have recorded more than 400 interviews with survivors and witnesses of the deadliest antisemitic attack since the Holocaust. These testimonies are part of our Contemporary Antisemitism Collection.
