Antisemitism
and the Blood Libel
Thursday, Feb. 1, 2024
1 PM PT / 4 PM ET / 9 PM GMT
Online
Blood libel, the malicious myth that Jews engage in
ritualistic murder, has been one of the most persistent tropes of
antisemitism across the millennia. Join us as Dr. Magda Teter,
Professor of History and the Shvidler Chair of Judaic Studies at
Fordham University, presents the next
lecture in the Daniel and Marisa Klass USC Shoah
Foundation Lecture Series on Antisemitism. She
will discuss her award-winning book, Blood Libel: On the Trail of an Antisemitic
Myth, and address how the blood libel
continues to manifest today.

Reviving Music From the Holocaust
Italian
composer and conductor Francesco Lotoro spent years researching
survivor testimony to recover compositions created and played under
Nazi persecution—a powerful reminder of the endurance of the human
spirit. At a concert in Paris presented by UNESCO
and the USC Shoah Foundation, his orchestra will bring these melodies
to life on stage for the first time since World War II, coupled with
testimonies from the Visual History Archive.
