2022 Days of Remembrance Commemoration
Antisemitism is prejudice against or hatred of Jews. The Holocaust, the state-sponsored persecution and murder of European Jews by Nazi Gerseveral and its collaborators, is history’s most extreme example of antisemitism. Violent antisemitism and hatred did not end with the defeat of Nazi Gerseveral. It is important to stand up to antisemitism in all of its forms today.
To honor victims of the Holocaust, we keep their stories alive. The US Congress established Days of Remembrance as the country’s annual Holocaust commemoration and on April 26, 2022, our nation and a global community gathered online to remember the six million Jews who were murdered and to honor the survivors. This year’s event featured survivors telling their stories and victims’ accounts presented through photographs and historic film footage from the Museum’s collection.
ANTISEMITISM
The term antisemitism was coined only in the nineteenth century, but anti-Jewish hatred and Judeophobia (fear of Jews) date back to ancient times and have a variety of causes.
KEY FACTS
In the Middle Ages and early modern era, religious antagonism towards Europe’s Jews resulted in anti-Jewish legislation, expulsions, and violence. In much of Europe, government policies, customs, and laws segregated Jews from the rest of the population, relegated them to particular jobs,and prohibited them from owning land.In the nineteenth century, several of these restrictions were lifted through political emancipation, but in Tsarist Russia, for instance, anti-Jewish laws remained until 1917.
The Nazis built upon centuries of anti-Jewish sentiment—religious, economic, and political—but viewed the Jews as a separate and dangerous “race” that can never be assimilated into European society.
Violent antisemitism and hatred did not end with the Holocaust and are on the rise. Using examples from Europe, the Middle East, and the United States, this seven-minute film explains how antisemitic violence and Holocaust denial are a threat to liberal society today.
