On View
Between Antisemitism and Activism examines the turbulent experiences of Jewish students and faculty at European and American universities over the past century. Through a series of thought-provoking historical vignettes, visitors will explore how Jews have been targets of antisemitic persecution as well as passionate leaders of activist movements.
From the harrowing experiences of Jewish scholars in Nazi Germany to the creation of Jewish student organizations in the United States, Between Antisemitism and Activism offers visitors a vital lens through which to view the ongoing challenges and contributions of Jewish students and faculty on college campuses. As college students return for the fall academic semester, this exhibition will provide essential historical context for understanding the complexities of Jewish life and activism at today's universities.
