Against the backdrop of the troubling rise in antisemitism around the world, a complex debate about how to define what is known as the oldest hatred continues unabated. On the anniversary of the Kristallnacht pogrom that took place November 9 and 10, 1938, join us for a conversation about the importance of rethinking how we study antisemitism, including what does and does not work featuring Dr. Magda Teter, Professor of History and the Shvidler Chair in Judaic Studies at Fordham University, and one of the scholars consulted on President Biden's National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism.
