Antisemitism and antisemitic tropes

Antisemitism is increasing in Britain and around the world. To be able to challenge it, young people need to be able to recognise and challenge antisemitic messages and myths. This lesson teaches students about antisemitic tropes, their troubled history, their evolution and their present manifestation, and the harm that their circulation can cause. It is the first lesson in a unit designed with the support of the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) that helps teachers have conversations with learners about contemporary antisemitism in a safe, sensitive and constructive way. Build on this lesson with more material from the unit ‘Discussing Contemporary Antisemitism in the Classroom.’
