Gen Z, born between 1996 -2012 is impacted by antisemitism differently from previous generations. This generation has never known a world without mass school shootings nor social media threats and increasing antisemitism normalized by this generation.

Content will be included from Dr. Samantha Vinoker-Meinrath’ s “#antisemitism, Coming of Age During the Resurgence of Hate,” featured on an FJMC webinar.
