Racisme, antisémitisme : repenser les programmes scolaires
Translated Title: Racism, anti-Semitism: rethinking school programs
Author(s): Drouot, Benoît
Date: 2023
Topics: Anti-Racism, Antisemitism: Education against, Holocaust Education, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Schools: Non-Jewish
Abstract: La persistance des hostilités identitaires de toutes natures à un niveau élevé, la progression des formations politiques d’extrême droite et la (ré)activation dans les espaces public et scolaire d’identités ethno-raciales aux effets assignants interrogent la capacité de l’école à enrayer le racisme et l’antisémitisme. Les points d’entrée dans les programmes ne manquent pourtant pas pour mener un travail utile. Mais les approches privilégiées, dont les limites ont déjà été soulignées par d’autres, comme l’historien Emmanuel Debono et l’historienne Marie-Anne Matard-Bonucci1, peinent à faire sens dans le quotidien des élèves et à infléchir les discours et les comportements.
Critical theory of racism, antisemitism, and the demonisation of Israel: Understanding their complex interrelations
Author(s): Stögner, Karin
Date: 2025
Topics: Anti-Zionism, Anti-Racism, Antisemitism: Definitions, Antisemitism, Theory, Racism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, October 7 2023 attacks + aftermath, Antisemitism: Israel-Related
Abstract: This article investigates the complex relationship between racism and antisemitism, advocating for an intersectional approach that highlights their distinct yet interconnected nature. The author critiques the tendency to subsume antisemitism under racism, arguing that such simplification overlooks unique aspects of antisemitism, particularly in contexts where it manifests through anti-Israel resentment. Drawing on a materialist tradition influenced by Marxist thought and the critical theory of the Frankfurt School, the article explores how both ideologies serve to mask social and economic contradictions in society. The concept of the ‘intersectionality of ideologies’ is introduced, allowing for a nuanced understanding that disentangles antisemitism from racism while examining their interconnections. This framework enables a deeper exploration of the socio-economic factors sustaining both ideologies. Additionally, the article addresses misconceptions surrounding the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's (IHRA’s) definition of antisemitism, clarifying that it does not inhibit legitimate criticism of Israeli politics but instead distinguishes between criticism and resentment. Ultimately, the author emphasizes that racism and antisemitism require tailored analytical tools to effectively grasp their complexities and socio-political implications.
Antisemitismus, Rassismus und postkoloniale Studien – Drängende Fragen zur „Causa Mbembe“
Translated Title: Antisemitism, racism and postcolonial studies – pressing questions about the “Mbembe case”
Author(s): Ziai, Aram
Date: 2021
Topics: Antisemitism, Anti-Zionism, Anti-Racism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Post-Colonial
Abstract: Antisemitismus ist ein ernsthaftes gesellschaftliches Problem, doch manche Kritik daran ist zu pauschal und zu scharf – so auch die, Achille Mbembe leugne das Existenzrecht Israels und für die postkolonialen Studien sei Antisemitismus eine Blindstelle. Das Existenzrecht eines palästinensischen Staates und die Bezüge zwischen Israel und einer an den Kolonialismus erinnernden Ungleichbehandlung mancher Menschen werden in der Diskussion allzu selten erwähnt. Aus postkolonialer Perspektive erscheint es verfehlt, Rassismus gegenüber jüdischen Menschen einen Sonderstatus einzuräumen. Die Abwertung und Ausgrenzung von Menschen aufgrund ihrer zugeschriebenen Gruppenzugehörigkeit ist in allen Formen zu bekämpfen und die Kritiker und Kritikerinnen solcher Praktiken sollten sich verbünden.
Between History and Politics: the Swedish Living History project as discursive formation
Author(s): Selling, Jan
Date: 2011
Topics: Holocaust, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Anti-Racism, Antisemitism, Anti-Antisemitism, Antisemitism: Education against, Holocaust Education, Newspapers, Magazines and Periodicals, Discourse and Discourse Analysis
Abstract: Texts and events regarding the Swedish Living History project in the years 1997–2008 are studied in the sense of a discursive formation, ‘Living History’. The article focuses on political aspects of changes, antagonism and discursive positions in public debates about ‘Living History’, whereby politics, journalism and academic history are seen as interacting parts. An examination of 651 press articles leads to the conclusion that ‘Living History’ changed its initial political focus of explicitly combating racism and anti-Semitism to eventually become a forum for universal democratic values, while at the same time focussing on apologetic views on communism. This development corresponds to the changing hegemonic discourse on ‘Living History’, from stressing the uniqueness of the Holocaust to a view strongly influenced by totalitarianism theory.
Antisemitism and Islamophobia in Europe: the constellation as an analytic tool for the critical study of race and religion
Author(s): van Es, Margaretha A.; Topolski, Anya
Date: 2026
Topics: Antisemitism, Anti-Racism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Racism, Islamophobia
Abstract: The steadfast assumption that racism is about skin-colour and other phenotypical features continues to fuel debates about whether antisemitism and Islamophobia are forms of racism, and if so, how to conceptualise the religious element in these forms of racism. In this article, we draw on Walter Benjamin’s notion of the “constellation” to engage with this question and provide a new analytic tool for the critical study of race. We argue that racism is a system of dehumanising hierarchical differentiation sustained through the production of elusive racial figures (“the Jew”, “the Muslim”, etc.). We contend that a racial figure should be understood as a dynamic relationship between different markers of difference, from phenotypical features to religion. By engaging with a long-term European history of antisemitism and Islamophobia, and the contemporary experiences of racialised people, we challenge simplistic distinctions between “biological” and “cultural” racism and provide a more refined definition of “racialisation”.

Learning about and from the Holocaust? On the limits of Holocaust education as civic education
Author(s): Witherow-Culpepper, Willa; Williams, Timothy
Date: 2025
Topics: Holocaust Education, Evaluation, Policy, Politics, Main Topic: Holocaust and Memorial, Anti-Racism
Abstract: Policymakers promote Holocaust education for achieving civic and anti-racist outcomes, yet the empirical efficacy of Holocaust education is questionable. We suggest that Holocaust education remains politically popular in the USA and UK as the Holocaust’s framing as an exceptional event allows framing education as non-partisan and apolitical. However, such focus on the Holocaust as universalized, ahistorical and apolitical constitute core weaknesses as an educational device. Also, we argue that Holocaust education grounds suffering in a unique historical moment that lack clear ties to today's issues. The article suggests a more cautious reliance on Holocaust education for civic and anti-racist outcomes.
Discourse and Discrimination: Rhetorics of Racism and Antisemitism
Author(s): Reisigl, Martin; Wodak, Ruth
Date: 2001
Topics: Antisemitism: Discourse, Anti-Racism, Race, Racism, Antisemitism: Far right, Main Topic: Antisemitism
Abstract: Discourse and Discrimination is a study of how racism, antisemitism and ethnicism are reflected in discourse. The authors first survey five established discourse analysis approaches before providing their own model and three case-studies. Drawing on a wide range of sources, they question why racism and anti-Semitism are still virulent worldwide.
Antisemitische Einstellungen junger Menschen: Stärkung demokratischer Grundhaltungen durch Angebote Sozialer Arbeit
Translated Title: Antisemitic attitudes among young people: Strengthening democratic attitudes through social work programs
Author(s): Kart, Mehmet; Zimmer, Veronika
Date: 2023
Topics: Anti-Antisemitism, Anti-Racism, Antisemitism: Education against, Social Work, Extremism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Youth
Abstract: Angesichts globaler und regionaler Entwicklungen der vergangenen Jahrzehnte steht die Gesellschaft vor erheblichen Herausforderungen wie politischer Instabilität, verschärften Konflikten, Migration, Rassismus, Diskriminierung sowie der Verbreitung von Fake News und Verschwörungserzählungen. Dabei gewinnen Extremismus, Antisemitismus, islamistische Radikalisierung und Rassismus an Bedeutung. In der Phase intensiver Persönlichkeitsentwicklung sind junge Menschen, geprägt von Unsicherheit, besonders anfällig für extremistische Überzeugungen und Handlungen. Der Drang, die eigene Identität zu formen, kombiniert mit der Suche nach einem Sinn im Leben, macht sie besonders empfänglich für Einflüsse aus ihrer sozialen Umgebung. Fehlender Zugang zu staatlichen, zivilgesellschaftlichen und familiären Unterstützungsmaßnahmen erhöht das Risiko einer Radikalisierungsspirale. Diese wird durch die Verbreitung radikaler Versprechungen über Soziale Medien und gezielte Rekrutierung in der sozialen Umgebung begünstigt. Insbesondere die Bedürfnisse und Emotionen junger Menschen werden dabei zum Ziel extremistischer Propaganda. Die Ergebnisse der Studie „IU-Kompass Extremismus“ zu antisemitischen Einstellungen bei jungen Menschen in Deutschland verdeutlichen weitverbreitete Ausprägungen dieses Phänomens. Es gilt, das Bewusstsein für menschenverachtende Ideologien zu schärfen und Jugendliche mit den nötigen Werkzeugen auszustatten, um diese Phänomene zu erkennen, zu benennen und aktiv dagegen vorzugehen.
Erinnerungslernen an die Shoah – Menschenrechtsbildung und Prävention gegen Antisemitismus
Translated Title: Learning to remember the Shoah - human rights education and prevention of anti-Semitism
Author(s): Schwendemann, Wilhelm
Date: 2020
Topics: Antisemitism: Education against, Holocaust Education, Schools: Non-Jewish, Anti-Racism, Main Topic: Antisemitism, Religious Education
Abstract: Antisemitismus und gruppenbezogene Menschenfeindlichkeit untergraben das Zu-sammenleben in einer demokratischen Zivilgesellschaft. Deswegen gehört die Prävention gegen Antisemitismus, Islam- und Fremdenfeindlichkeit zu den Bildungsaufgaben der Schu-le aber auch speziell des Religionsunterrichts. Im Religionsunterricht muss deswegen die Konzeption des Erinnerungslernens nach und über Auschwitz mit einem stringenten Modell der Menschenrechtsbildung verbunden werden, was neue didaktische Herausforderungen mit sich bringt.
