January 28, 2021 |

Research from the Pew Center for Religion reveals how a majority of Americans cannot correctly identify the scale of the genocide or answer questions about how Adolf Hitler rose to power. These “inconvenient” details are evidence of a new form of Holocaust denial according to Emory University Professor and Holocaust Studies expert Deborah Lipstadt. She traces how denial has re-emerged in tandem with a global rise in anti-Semitism. Lipstadt shares the features and characteristics of this rising phenomenon and offers suggestions on ways to confront the social and civic norms that allow stereotypes and conspiracy theories to thrive.
Deborah Lipstadt Ph.D., Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies Emory University and author — most recently — of Antisemitism: Here and Now.
