with Dr. Liram Koblentz-Stenzler

No longer confined to the fringes of neo-Nazi groups or extremist Islamists, antisemitism has emerged as a persistent feature of online conspiracy theories about governance, globalization, and immigration. The rising tide of online incitement has motivated defamation of Jewish public figures and a new surge in violence against Jewish people, houses of worship, and community institutions in the United States and Europe. Based on her recent research, Dr. Koblentz-Stenzler will talk about how far-right groups recruit and radicalize followers using antisemitism and hate-filled offensive meme language. She will also delve into the differing roots and manifestations of far-right and far-left antisemitism, both of which have seen a resurgence in recent years.

We will be joined for this program by our partners at ADL Connecticut, who will share about how some of the troubling trends explored in Dr. Koblentz-Stenzler's presentation are playing out here in Connecticut. Light refreshments will be served.

This event is co-sponsored by the United Jewish Federation of Stamford, Darien and New Canaan, UJA-JCC of Greenwich and ADL Connecticut.
