these questions, you’ll enhance your understanding of the history of
antisemitism in the United States and its impact on individuals and
institutions. We invite you to critically analyze the US response to Nazi
ideology and the Holocaust, fostering connections to the current issue of
antisemitism in our society.

collective care. Together, we will assemble care items for people in need
locally and write letters that will be delivered to Holocaust survivors in
Israel. This program offers a space to commemorate the day, reflect on its
