Educating Against Hate: Strengthening Holocaust Education in Canada
Date: November 23, 2026
Is Holocaust education as it currently exists adequate to combat antisemitism? Given the rise of antisemitism in Canada, education has become the most commonly used tools for combating antisemitism. While one of the key goals of antisemitism education is to address ignorance, this talk focuses on the social and emotional elements of antisemitism. Hollinger’s research demonstrates, that to be effective, Holocaust education must affect people by creating emotional resonance with and relation to the material and Jewish stories. Learn how stories, immersive experiences, and perspective-taking are key to affecting hearts and minds in the fight against antisemitism within an academic setting.
