Anti–Semitism in the 21st Century: The Resurgence
Film and Discussion
Monday, 12 Feb 2007 at 7:00 pm – Sun Room, Memorial Union
Many parts of the world are experiencing a massive resurgence of anti-Semitism - from hate propaganda, to vandalism, to violent attacks on Jews themselves. Worldwide, since the year 2000, major violent acts against Jews and Jewish institutions have nearly doubled from the levels of the 1990s. Hosted by veteran broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff, this PBS documentary explores the roots of anti-Semitism and examines why it flourishes today. It was written, produced and directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Andrew Goldberg. Veteran broadcast journalist Judy Woodruff hosts and narrates.Cosponsored By:
