On the Rise: Anti-Semitism in Europe

grades:  High School (9-12) 

Lesson Summary:

From the ADL- Anti Defamation League:
"Several reports over the past few years have pointed to an increase in anti-Semitism in Europe, both in terms of hate incidents and anti-Jewish attitudes. Human Rights First (based in the U.S.), the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) (based in Vienna) and the Anti-Defamation League all report higher levels of anti-Semitism compared to previous years; and, in fact, nearly one-third of European Jews has reportedly considered emigration because they do not feel safe in their own country.
This lesson provides an opportunity for students to define anti-Semitism, identify and categorize incidences of anti-Semitism, gain an understanding of the Pyramid of Hate and learn more about the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe.

This resource is not designed for specifically Jewish audiences, so educators should adapt the materials as they deem fit for their community.
