THE CONSPIRACY THEORY OF ANTISEMITISM: EVOLUTION, ADAPTATION, PREVENTION

January 20th, 2026

4:00 PM ET

Our webinars are designed to increase participants’ knowledge of Holocaust history, explore and access classroom-ready content, and support instructional practice to promote student learning and understanding of this complex history and its lasting effect on the world.

Antisemitism has persisted for centuries, adapting to different eras but always based on a few dozen core conspiracy theories. This webinar will trace the historical arc of antisemitism, exploring how age-old prejudices evolved across time and place, how conspiracy theories about Jewish people have fueled violence and exclusion, and why these narratives continue to resurface in today’s social and political climate. Led by Brian Hughes, PhD, Director of USC Shoah Foundation’s Countering Antisemitism Lab, we will examine the role that media plays in both preserving and renewing these theories, bringing the world’s oldest hatred in line with modern culture and current events.
