Memory in Conflict: Holocaust Discourse among Young Jews, Germans, and Muslims

On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel, INSS researcher Adi Kantor sits down with Uriya Shavit, Israeli author and professor of Islamic studies, head of the Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University. Together they discuss the complex discourse among young Jews, Germans, and Muslims in the context of Holocaust remembrance today. What role does the Holocaust play in contemporary discourse among young Jews, Germans, and Muslims? What role does migration play in the context of Holocaust memory? What are the challenges in Holocaust education among younger generations today? In addition, the researchers analyze main points in the annual Report on Worldwide Antisemitism issued by the Center for the Study of Contemporary European Jewry at Tel Aviv University in collaboration with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and discuss the reasons for contemporary manifestations of antisemitism and the ways to combat it.
