This publication is the first educational guidance from UNESCO to specifically address the problem of contemporary anti-Semitism at a time when, sadly, the need has become ever more crucial in our schools, universities and other educational establishments. Jewish communities across the world, where they exist, face increasing threats. They have been targeted in terrorist attacks, such as in Brussels, Copenhagen and Paris, while the fear of anti-Semitic harassment or physical assault has grown, particularly around centre points of Jewish cultural and religious heritage, including synagogues, museums and schools. It is alarming that, as survivors of the Holocaust pass on, Jewish communi-ties in Europe feel in renewed danger from the threat of anti-Semitic attacks. Anti-Semitism is not the problem of Jewish communities alone, nor does it require the presence of a Jewish community to proliferate. It exists in religious, social and political forms and guises, on all sides of the political spectrum. A symptom of broader social and political issues and the manifestation of regressive and dangerous tendencies that deeply affect the fabric of societies, anti-Semitism is often accompanied by gender-based and homophobic violence, racism and other forms of intolerance. Various violent extremist ideologies and conspiracy theories that proliferate online often feed on anti-Semitism. As with all forms of discrimination and intolerance, anti-Semitism must be countered through education, within the framework of human rights and global citizenship. This is both an immediate security imperative and a long-term educational obligation. This guidance resource will assist educators to establish expedient and effective peda-gogies to address prejudice and to respond to anti-Semitic incidents when they occur. It provides policymakers with tools and guidance to ensure that education systems build the resilience of young people to anti-Semitic ideas and ideologies and, more broadly, to all forms of racism and discrimination, through critical thinking and respect for others.
