Title: Dr Lauren Chalk and Noè Harsel – Can holocaust education move the needle on antisemitism in an Australian context (*from 2:52 mins)

Description: Morry Frenkel speaks with Dr. Lauren Chalk, Research Fellow at Monash University's Australian Centre for Jewish Civilisation (ACJC) and leader of the Monash Initiative for Rapid Research into Antisemitism (MIRRA) and Noè Harsel, Senior Policy Advisor and Senior Lecturer at the ACJC, and MIRRA team member. Noè outlines the ACJC and MIRRA before introducing MIRRA's new report on Holocaust education and antisemitism in Australia (Holocaust Education and its Role in Addressing Antisemitism in Australia). Noè outlines the ACJC and MIRRA before introducing MIRRA's new report on Holocaust education and antisemitism in Australia (Holocaust Education and its Role in Addressing Antisemitism in Australia). Lauren shares the report's key findings, including participants' uncertainty about the value of Holocaust studies on its own. Holocaust education, Lauren and Noè suggest, has perhaps been burdened with addressing antisemitism single-handedly — it should instead be one part of a broader effort that also examines contemporary Jewish life and contribution to society. Reading the report is highly recommended to appreciate the depth of the study and its outcomes; it can be found at https://www.monash.edu/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/4389674/Holocaust-Education-and-Antisemitism.pdf.
