Battleground for Truth: Confronting Antisemitism and Holocaust Denial
Seventy years after liberation, we are seeing a frightening rise in European antisemitism. Despite the existence of laws prohibiting Holocaust denial in Europe, the presence of distortion and minimization, hate speech, and violent attacks are forcing Europeans and Americans to question what will it take for society to grasp the harsh and enduring lessons of the Holocaust?
