Dear Friends,

Yesterday, as the world paused to remember the six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis for International Holocaust Remembrance Day, ten U.S. states adopted the IHRA working definition of antisemitism. From the President of the United States, to top European leaders, great attention was paid to utilizing the lessons of the past to combat resurgent antisemitism today.

CAM’s global campaign against Holocaust Trivialization was featured in dozens of leading news outlets including Reuters and Business Insider.

New reports this week showed that one third of Canadian students don’t understand or question the Holocaust, a quarter of Australians are are unaware of the Holocaust, and nearly one in three young Germans hold antisemitic attitudes. Meanwhile, more than 90% of American Jews are concerned about antisemitism, antisemitic incidents in France increased by 75%, and according to the Jewish Agency for Israel, 2021 was the most antisemitic year in the past decade.

Leading up to the synagogue attack in Texas this month, the CAM Information Hub tracked a total of 34 incidents targeting synagogues and Jewish centers in the last few months.

This week, a yeshiva student was punched in the face in an antisemitic attack in Brooklyn, where a machete-wielding man also threatened the Jewish community. In Italy, a young Jewish boy was assaulted by teenage girls who told him that he would “die in the ovens.” Two orthodox Jewish men were also beaten on a London street.

The Goyim Defense League launched another campaign of antisemitic flyers blaming Jews for the COVID-19 pandemic, targeting thousands of homes in multiple cities across California, Florida, Colorado, and Maryland.

Two teachers in Mexico were fired in separate incidents for praising Adolf Hitler and joking about the Holocaust, and in Tennessee school board officials banned the Pulitzer-prize winning graphic novel Maus by second-generation Holocaust survivor Art Spiegelman.

This week’s global antisemitism report highlights 42 new media reports of antisemitic incidents. The total includes 28 (66.7%) from the far-right, 5 (11.9%) from the far-left, 3 (7.1%) with Islamist motivations, and 6 (14.3%) unidentifiable in nature.
