    Oxford Union Debate on Holocaust Denial Criminalisation

    Speaker: Dr. Charles Asher Small Affiliation: Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) Title: "Oxford Union Debate on Holocaust Denial Criminalisation" Location: Oxford University Date: January 28, 2016 Description: Dr. Charles Asher Small explains the various phases of antisemitism throughout history and maintains that contemporary antisemitism attacks notion of Jewish peoplehood. Dr. Small argues that today, Islamist reactionary social movements use European antisemitism and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to openly call for the extermination of the Jewish people and the destruction of the State of Israel. Dr Small argues that while antisemitism begins with the Jews, it never ends with the Jews, but threatens democratic principles and human rights worldwide.

    Western Culture, the Holocaust, and the Persistence of Antisemitism

    Speaker: Dr. Catherine Chatterley Affiliation: Department of History, University of Manitoba; Founding Director, Canadian Institute for the Study of Antisemitism (CISA) Title: "Western Culture, the Holocaust, and the Persistence of Antisemitism" Convener: Dr. Charles Asher Small, Founder and Executive Director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) Location: Yale University, New Haven, CT Date: March 5, 2009 Description: Dr. Catherine Chatterley examines the persistence of antisemitism in post-Holocaust Western culture and whether Holocaust education has failed to educate the public about the specific nature and history of antisemitism. She goes on to question whether it is possible that the strategy of Holocaust universalization -- a strategy perceived as making the Holocaust accessible to non-Jews -- has worked against achieving an adequate understanding of antisemitism and subsequently against the eradication of antisemitic discourse and thinking from Western culture.

    Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial in the Contemporary World

    Speaker: Dr. Robert S. Wistrich (z"l) Affiliation: Director, The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism (SICSA), Hebrew University, Jerusalem Title: "Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial in the Contemporary World" Location: Yale University, New Haven, CT Date: February 19, 2009 Description: Dr. Robert S. Wistrich (z"l) maintains that as the number of those who witnessed the horrors of the Holocaust are diminishing by the years, the challenges of communicating the atrocities of the Holocaust to the next generation are becoming exceedingly difficult. Many today, including teenagers, have been exposed to the literature of Holocaust denial and are becoming highly skeptical that such horrific brutalities had been committed against the Jews. Dr. Wistrich maintains that despite intense efforts of commemoration and education, the current generation is severely lacking in both the knowledge and understanding to effectively combat modern manifestations of antisemtisim.

    Antisemitism in the Contemporary Middle East: Survey And Analysis

    Speaker: Dr. Jonathan Spyer Affiliation: Director, Rubin Center (formerly the GLORIA Center), Interdisciplinary Center of Herzliya; Fellow, Middle East Forum Title: "Antisemitism in the Contemporary Middle East: Survey And Analysis" Convener: Lloyd Fischler, Member, ISGAP Board of Directors and Board of Trustees Location: McGill University, Montreal, Canada Date: October 30, 2012 Description: Dr. Jonathan Spyer argues that the Middle East today is the most antisemitic region in the world. It is a region in which negative stereotypes of Jews, including ideas of Jewish conspiracy, exist in the mainstream. Spyer elucidates the pervasive presence of antisemtisim in contemporary Middle Eastern societies and notes two approaches that seek to explain the roots of this phenomenon. He goes on to explain the history of antisemitism and anti-Jewish sentiment in the contemporary Middle East.

    Anti-Alienism, Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism In 20th Century South Africa

    Speaker: Dr. Milton Shain Affiliation: Director, Isaac & Jessie Kaplan Centre for Jewish Studies, University of Cape Town, South Africa Title: "Anti-Alienism, Antisemitism and Anti-Zionism In 20th Century South Africa" Location: Yale University, New Haven, CT Date: November 9, 2006 Description: Milton Shain notes that for many years, scholars have commented on the continuities, discontinuities, and contingencies of antisemitism through the ages, including: pagan and early Christian antisemitism, medieval and modern antisemitism, modern antisemitism and Nazism, and, more recently, antisemitism and anti-Zionism. He notes that while these debates are general in their focus, it is apparent that continuities, discontinuities, and contingencies are also discernible within national policies. The South African case in the twentieth century demonstrates continuities between anti-alienism at the turn of the century, the "Jewish Question" in the 1930s and early 1940s, and anti-Zionism during the latter part of the century.
