In February 2022, Tottenham Hotspur Football Club launched its “The WhY Word” campaign, which is calling on the fans to discontinue using the term “Yid.” Based on the analysis of numerous primary sources, interviews, and on-site research, this presentation seeks to understand the various perspectives on and the contested meanings of the term in the context of Tottenham Hotspur FC and the local fan culture.
Join us for this event to mark the publication of Anti- Antisemitism: Countering Anti-Jewish Racism in Western Europe, 1890-2022 and the launch on the Library’s new travelling version of its Fighting Antisemitism from Dreyfus to Today exhibition.
What antisemitic reactions have been triggered online by recent news stories, such as the Russian invasion of Ukraine, terrorist attacks in Israel, or novelist Sally Rooney’s boycott of Israeli publishers? Which stereotypes and conspiracy theories are they fuelling? Decoding Antisemitism is a transnational and interdisciplinary research project analysing the content, structure and frequency of antisemitism in online spaces. In this talk, the team present findings from their most recent Discourse Report.
This talk will focus on Maria Chamberlain’s book, 'Never Tell Anyone You’re Jewish', a story of two assimilated Jewish families in Nazi-occupied Poland in the eye of the Holocaust. The material in the book is compiled from recounted memories of the survivors, unfinished memoirs, letters, photographs, and historical archives.
In this talk, Dr Barbara Warnock, curator of the Library's latest exhibition will discuss the genesis of the exhibition project, the process of curation and explore some of the key documents, photographs and artefacts on display.
In this talk, the editors and contributing authors of the book, 'Antisemitism on Social Media', will discuss how social media has revolutionised the dissemination of antisemitism and how this impacts not only victims of antisemitic hate speech but also society at large.
In this event, we will introduce the Sephardi Voices UK archive, explore testimonies of those who lived through the 1941 pogrom, the Farhud, and discuss the long-term effects on Baghdad's Jewish population.
In partnership with Yet Again, the Library is hosting a panel discussion and inviting expert speakers to discuss some of the issues surrounding Holocaust distortion today.
In light of Vladimir Putin’s spurious goal of “de-Nazifying” Ukraine and to think about how historical knowledge can be applied to current crises, the Library is pleased to host this virtual panel which will analyse Ukrainian-Jewish relations in the 20th and 21st centuries.
