Panels on antisemitism and the extreme right

During the Week Against Racism, a week organized by Pakhuis de Zwijger and Comité 21 Maart, Landecker Fellow Jelle Zijlstra will be part of two panel discussions on antisemitism & the extreme right.

The first one is about the extreme right making a comeback. The panel discussion will take place on March 14. The program will discuss the growing support for far-right ideology and what this means for the safety of minority groups, activists and women’s rights. For more information, click here.

The second event with Jelle’s participation is an intimate conversation between progressive Dutch Jews. It will focus on what it means to be Jewish in the Netherlands as well as on anti-racism and (anti)zionism. The event will also consider the position of the Jewish Dutch citizens in the Social Justice movement. The conversation will take place on March 15. For more information, click here.
