History

Historical Context

Antisemitism in the United States has deep historical roots, peaking in the 1920s and 1930s with the rise of groups like the Ku Klux Klan. Following World War II, antisemitic sentiment declined but resurged in recent years, with the Anti-Defamation League reporting a 400% increase in incidents post-1945. Kanye West's recent remarks reflect ongoing societal challenges, underscoring the need for dialogue and reconciliation.
