We see that Antisemitism is in the headlines again. We created a resource specifically for teaching about contemporary Antisemitism & its ties to white supremacy. The lesson uses recent, high profile examples from the US but the framework can be adapted for any country. Recommended for grades 9-12, higher ed & adult ed. Get it as part of our Schindler's List film guide or download it as a standalone lesson.

Like all of our resources, this lesson is free for everyone.

“Leadership here says, ‘Bring students into your calm. Don’t let them bring you into their storm.’ And it’s been beneficial for them to watch me calm down before I talk. They learn about emotions and how to regulate them, and they can watch the process through me.”

— Caroline Combs, Teacher
