This workshop provides an opportunity for teachers to learn about the origins of historical antisemitism, including learning about prewar Jewish life in Germany and antisemitism in Nazi ideology and its similarities and differences from pre-Nazi antisemitism. This workshop will also examine Holocaust denial and distortion and how it can be combatted.
