Understanding, Recognizing, and Combating Antisemitism
Antisemitism is not just a thing of the past. The free online lecture on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, will look at historical and current forms of anti-Jewish attitudes and ask how antisemitic statements can be effectively addressed in everyday life.
Historical Roots and Current Manifestations
The focus will be on the long history of rejection and persecution of Jews, as well as the development of antisemitic images and prejudices up to the present day. A particular emphasis will be placed on antisemitism during the time of National Socialism and on the question of how historical continuities are still relevant today.
Focus on Israel-related Antisemitism
The lecture will categorize different manifestations of antisemitism and also address Israel-related antisemitism. It will discuss societal functions, stereotypical anti-Jewish representations, and the impact of antisemitic attributions on those affected.
Education, Memory Culture, and Action Options
Helen Sophia Müller and historian Thomas Rink will draw on their experience from the educational work of the NS Documentation Center Munich. Their work includes seminars, guided tours, training sessions, participatory projects, and exhibitions. In terms of event planning and target audience engagement, the format combines historical context with the practical question of how people can respond to antisemitic statements.

The event will take place online as part of the Politics Online series of vhs Traunreut. Participation requires an internet-enabled device with speakers or headphones.
