Join the IAJF and ICAN as we welcome Iran expert and former U.S. Deputy Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism, Ellie Cohanim, to discuss Iran, the nuclear deal, and what 2022 holds in store as we look to confront this critical issue.
Antisemitism in Education
In this episode of the Being Israeli podcast, we will explore the nexus of antisemitism and education, and what it means to be Israeli on today's campuses.
The US Preserves Holocaust-era Archive, the EU Funds Holocaust Denial
This week we discuss a new archive from a Lithuanian Holocaust perpetrator which has been preserved by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. And, we review the latest in Holocaust-related headlines including a federal judge in Anchorage who required a defendant to learn Holocaust history, and we review a case where the European Union funded neo-Nazi propaganda promoting Holocaust denial.
Holocaust Education and State-Sponsored White Supremacy
In this episode, we explore recent surveys that show adult Americans, especially Gen Z and Millenials, possess a shocking lack of specific knowledge about the Holocaust, while other surveys show Holocaust education yields many tangible societal benefits. We also examine current Holocaust denial and distortion in Eastern Europe, especially in Lithuania, where the government is sowing seeds of white supremacy.
The Search for Holocaust Truth and Justice
In this episode, Dillon and Grant explore basic Holocaust facts and discuss the ongoing search for Holocaust truth and justice.
Holocaust Fatigue? The Memory Matters for Justice and Liberty
Why would an advocacy organization like the Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN), dedicated to fighting BDS, combating antisemitism, and strengthening the U.S. - Israel alliance focus on the Holocaust?
Over the past year, while working on policy initiatives related to ongoing state-sponsored Holocaust denial and distortion, I received notes of confusion, skepticism, and even annoyance from my pro-Israel colleagues. Some even called, sighed deeply, and asked, "have you heard of 'Holocaust fatigue,' people are tired of hearing about it."
Holocaust fatigue? Hearing this, I felt like someone punched me in the stomach.
