History of Hatred: Past, Present, & Future of Antisemitism

Part 3: Antisemitism: Present & Future –
The Holocaust took the lives of nearly six million Jews and represented one of the greatest catastrophes in human history. Unfortunately, even after the Shoah, the longest hatred continued as antisemitism expanded in Europe and the Middle East as the 20th Century progressed. Jewish-Americans for the most part were able to assimilate into American society, but challenges remained, and the United States faced many of its own issues regarding racism and bigotry. In our final presentation, we will explore antisemitism in the present, as well as projecting to the future.

Series instructor Tim Crain is a historian, professor, and administrator. His area of specialization is modern Jewish history, modern European history, and the Middle East. Crain is the former director of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education at Seton Hill University, and he previously taught for fifteen years at Marquette University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison He is a recipient of numerous teaching and professional awards, and in 2015 Crain received Marquette University’s Alumni Award for Leadership Excellence.
