SUMMARY:How Can International Cooperation Strengthen Democracy and Combat Antisemitism in Germany and the United States?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]October 7th marks the first anniversary of the bloody attack on a music festival in Israel by Hamas. Over 1\,000 people were killed\, dozens of people are still being held hostage by Hamas\, and the region is at war. Against this backdrop\, there has been a spike in antisemitic hate crimes around the world. In the United States\, the FBI reported a 63 percent increase over 2022. In Germany\, the monitoring group RIAS reported that antisemitic incidents rose by over 80 percent in 2023 – reaching a new high since RIAS started keeping track in 2017. \nJoin the American Council on Germany on Monday\, October 7\, at 11 am ET\, for a virtual discussion with antisemitism expert Dr. Sharon S. Nazarian\, the President of the Y&S Nazarian Family Foundation. She has been exploring how the rise in antisemitism can be seen as an indicator of the waning health of democracy. She will talk about the myriad challenges posed by increasing antisemitism and how international cooperation can be implemented to address the problem and shore up democracy. Dr. Nazarian just completed a speaking tour for the ACG\, which included discussions in four Eric M. Warburg Chapters and in New York.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Here” style=”classic” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fus02web.zoom.us%2Fwebinar%2Fregister%2FWN_qdb3rIxSQQ2BPVV9TQC7kw” css=”.vc_custom_1727724498993{background-color: #1e73be !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_column_text]Dr. Sharon S. Nazarian is the President of the Y&S Nazarian Family Foundation\, with a regional office in Israel called the Ima Foundation.
