(JEWISH GROUP) New Exhibit at Holocaust Museum: Antisemitism: Ancient Hatred, Modern Violence
In October 2025, the Museum opened a new installation on the history of violent antisemitism before, during, and after the Holocaust, including contemporary events. Given the global surge in violent antisemitic incidents, educating the public has never been more urgent.
Most of our visitors are not Jewish and don’t know what antisemitism is and that it made the Holocaust possible. Now all visitors entering the Museum, from school groups to tourists on the National Mall, will have access to this crucial knowledge. By visiting the installation, which is on the Museum’s main floor, they will learn that deadly conspiracy theories to promote hatred of Jews started long before the Nazis and continue to be a threat today. Our message: Antisemitism targets Jewish people, but affects all of us.
Visitors watch the main feature of the installation, a video in which Holocaust survivors explain the history of antisemitism before, during, and after the Holocaust, including contemporary events.
October 7, 2023—the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust—is prominently featured in the video.
