Holocaust & Genocide Awareness Week (HGAW) 2025:
Combating Antisemitism in the European Union: Opportunities, Tools, and Challenges
Join us for an important event focused on tackling antisemitism in the European Union. This in-person gathering will take place at Florida International University - Green School International Pavilion (SIPA II, Room 102).
This presentation will examine why and how the EU created a policy focusing on antisemitism and some of the policy tools the EU possesses to address it. We will explore specific policies such as the EU’s strategy to combat antisemitism and foster Jewish life as well as other mechanisms not explicitly for antisemitism, but that the EU can utilize to address it.
