Project Description
This publication presents stories of antisemitism based on real events, designed for teenagers, educators, parents, and community members seeking to understand and counter antisemitism in daily life. It combines personal experiences with historical context, showing how antisemitism appears both subtly and overtly – from online “irony” to exclusion, vandalism, and violence. Created through a co-creative, trauma-informed process with partner organisations, it promotes empathy, awareness, and inclusion through accessible narratives that reflect diverse regional perspectives.
Findings
- Contemporary antisemitism often hides behind humour, irony, or “neutral” cultural tropes, echoing older forms of propaganda.
- Traditional Holocaust education, while vital, is not sufficient on its own – new, sensitive, and relatable formats are needed to reach younger generations.
- Ethical, trauma-informed storytelling can help foster empathy, protect the dignity of those affected, and create constructive community dialogue around antisemitism.
