Join Us! “The IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism: Eleven Examples, Eleven Stories” on September 16th

LDB is pleased to announce co-sponsoring “The IHRA Definition of Anti-Semitism: Eleven Examples, Eleven Stories” organized by the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (CAM) on September 16, 2020 at 1:00 PM EST. 

This one-of-a-kind program will enable diverse audiences to better understand the nuances of contemporary anti-Semitism and to help people everywhere confront the issue in a twenty-first century context. 

In the fight against global anti-Semitism, IHRA’s definition of this threat has been an integral tool for governments, non-profits, academic institutions, corporations and other entities. This definition has already been adopted by 27 countries and many states, cities and organizations around the globe. 

We are joining The Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (CAM) to call on leaders and decision-makers across the globe to adopt this powerful tool to assess hatred towards Jews and hold perpetrators of anti-Semitism accountable. 

Distinguished International Diplomatic Speakers Include: 

  • Ambassador Michaela Küchler, Chair of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance 
  • Elan S. Carr, US Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism
  • Dr. Felix Klein, Federal Commissioner for Jewish Life in Germany and the Fight Against Anti-  Semitism
  • Lord Eric Pickles, United Kingdom Special Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues
  • Ahmed Shaheed, UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion or Belief

 As global issues fuel a rapid rise in hatred towards Jews, agreeing upon and working from a universal definition is critical in order to effectively combat anti-Semitic threats from across the ideological spectrum. We encourage our valued members to share this important program with your network as there is no better time than now to energize momentum and encourage the adoption of the IHRA definition worldwide.
