The Jewish Museum Berlin, the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility and Future and the Center for Research on Antisemitism, Berlin Institute of Technology, are organizing a conference on current phenomena of and conflicts about antisemitism in Europe.

Antisemitism expresses itself in different forms in today's Europe. The conference will address five of these expressions in a comparative approach:
- “classical antisemitism”, portraying Jews as a dominant power in politics, finances and mass media, allegedly to the detriment of the nation;
- the persistent anti-Jewish attitudes, based in the tradition of anti-Judaism, that exist in parts of the society and faith based groups;
- “secondary antisemitism” (guilt-defensiveness antisemitism) which denies one's own guilt by rejecting the remembrance of the Holocaust and blaming the Jews of being guilty themselves;
- the so called “new antisemitism”, sparked off by Israel's politics in the Middle Eastern conflict, attacking Israel as the “collective Jew”;
- and finally, the combination of antisemitism and xenophobia/racism which is often found in the nowadays predominantly ethnically diverse European countries.

The conference will present these different expressions of antisemitism in its European dimensions as well as political and cultural conflicts which have evolved around them. By presenting different international approaches in the research of antisemitism the organizers aim to connect discussions that, as yet, are often led in limited national contexts only.

In five panel sessions specific aspects of antisemitism will be presented and discussed with the audience. The organizers are inviting an expert community, educators who work in the field of civic education, teachers and students.
