Enduring Hatred: The Persistence of Antisemitism in Culture and Society. Historical Roots, Contemporary Challenges, and the Role of Education

von Marie-Christin Grobner

Antisemitism continues to threaten Jewish life, culture, and security despite international efforts to combat it. It infringes on basic human rights such as freedom of speech, religion, and cultural expression. The study reviews interventions aimed at addressing antisemitism, particularly through education, and shows that antisemitism persists independently of Jewish population size, being rooted in myths, media, and culture. Education is identified as key to preventing antisemitism. The research uses a systematic review approach to assess various educational interventions and underscores the importance of rigorous selection criteria to avoid bias in research outcomes.
