Partners in Action – CAM’s Coalition Taking a Stand Against Anti-Semitism

Each week, we highlight the activities of our partner organizations around the world who are doing amazing work to combat anti-Semitism in their communities.

The week of April 5th marked Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) in Israel and around the world. Many of the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement’s partners developed moving and meaningful digital programs to commemorate victims of the Holocaust and actively address anti-Semitism by ensuring the horrors of the past are not forgotten. This week also saw partners take action to support the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism.
