[ONLINE] Combating Antisemitism in Germany and Poland: Strategies Since 1990

In both Germany and Poland—primary locations of the Holocaust—the legacy of antisemitism remains a major obstacle to reconciliation with the past. In his new book Combating Antisemitism in Germany and Poland: Strategies Since 1990, Thomas Just examines how antisemitism has manifested in these countries in the post-Cold War era, and the strategies employed to counter it. Just also examines the effectiveness of various approaches, pointing to a deeper understanding of the disturbing influence of antisemitic hatred worldwide and the best practices to combat it.

Just is an Assistant Teaching Professor within the Future Security Initiative at Arizona State University, and was previously the inaugural Postdoctoral Fellow with the Martin-Springer Institute at Northern Arizona University.
