Extremist beliefs and violence are on the rise. White supremacist and other hate groups exploit antisemitic myths, racism, and conspiracy theories often directly inspired by Nazi ideology. When hatred and deception go viral, they can appeal to more mainstream audiences.

Holocaust history warns us of the violence that can follow when such threats go unchecked.

Join us in person or virtually as we discuss the dangers posed when extremist ideas are normalized and what is being done to challenge them.

Moderator: Dr. Edna Friedberg, Historian, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
