I am pleased to let faculty know about new efforts on campus to combat antisemitism.
First, the Ray Wolpow Institute for the Study of the Holocaust, Genocide, and Crimes Against Humanity at Western Washington University has just been established last summer. Visit the website learn more about the institute. Join the Ray Wolpow Institute for their inaugural lecture by acclaimed Holocaust Studies scholar and Academy-Award winning film producer Michael Berenbaum on Wednesday, October 19 st 7:30 PM in AH 100. This event is free and open to the public.
Second, there is a new Taskforce on Preventing and Responding to Antisemitism. They ask for the faculty’s support in identifying specific things that Western needs to do to reduce antisemitism on campus. You may use the form below or directly contact Sue Guenter-Schlesinger.
