Confronting Antisemitism on Campus

As antisemitism intensifies across the globe—particularly on U.S. college campuses where it is often masked as progressive thinking—the urgency of Holocaust education is undeniable. In 2025, Yad Vashem welcomed the third cohort of faculty members participating in the Alan Cornell U.S. Campus Faculty Seminar. 24 professors from diverse disciplines and backgrounds participated this year, despite the conflict in the Israel.

This unique initiative goes beyond teaching Holocaust history. It arms participants with the tools to recognize antisemitism in all its forms and to respond to its manifestations with clarity and confidence. In today’s academic climate, these faculty members are not only educators—they are advocates for truth, dignity, and tolerance.
