Combating Anti-Semitism: Why Never Again Matters Today
By Attorney General Phil Weiser
I appreciate Larry Mizel’s leadership and the Mizel Museum’s sponsorship of this important commemoration. The Babi Yar massacre is only one of many that took place during the Holocaust. From September 29-30, 1941, at the Babi Yar ravine on the outskirts of Kyiv, the Nazis killed approximately 34,000 Jews; it was one of the largest mass murders at an individual location during World War II. And between 1941 and 1943, thousands more Jews, Roma, Communists, and Soviet prisoners of war were killed there as well. In total, around 100,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during World War II. The Babi Yar Memorial Park pays tribute to those lives lost and to victims of genocide everywhere.
In my talk today, I want to reflect on rising anti-semitism and why the core message of the Holocaust—Never Again—remains more relevant than ever. For me, this is deeply personal. In my family, the Holocaust shaped our world view and my approach to public service because my grandparents and mom survived the Holocaust, with the US Army liberating my mom when she just was 7 days old. Their story of survival is ultimately one of resilience and optimism. And America’s decision to welcome them fostered my family’s appreciation for our nation’s core values—freedom and opportunity for all.
1. Putting Rising Hate Into Context
Rising anti-semitism in the United States is occurring in the broader context of rising hate targeted at a range of individuals. The statistics and the stories are clear: hate is rising against all groups—Asian Americans, members of the LGBTQ community, Jews, and African Americans, to name only a few—and the sources of rising hate are intertwined. In many cases, hate jumps a track, so to speak, as evident when an attack on a synagogue outside of San Diego was inspired by a massacre at a mosque in Christ Church, New Zealand, which was carried on Facebook Live.
I am not confident that I can pinpoint all of the reasons for rising hate and hate crimes, but a few themes bear attention. First off, we are living at a time of technological change, economic disruption, and the aftermath of a pandemic, all of which have frayed social ties. In difficult times, it is a historical fact that individuals are often looking to blame—and even demonize—others. Indeed, a concept we have learned about demonization is that it is all too common to demonize an individual based on who she is as an “other.” Second, social media is enabling hate, demonization, and conspiracy theories to spread quickly
For many Jews, the history of stereotypes and demonization is a painful and familiar tale. Quite notably, the Holocaust Museum in Jerusalem, Yad VaShem, begins with a detailed background of the prejudice and biases against Jews that were dry kindling for the fire lit by the Nazis. Germans were, in other words, familiar with the antisemitic tropes about Jews. Hitler weaponized that sentiment into an ideology and ultimately marshalled hate into support for genocide. When we say “Never Again,” that cannot only mean no more genocides; it also needs to mean that we will never allow the mass demonization of an ethic group to lay the groundwork for a genocide. In other genocides, such as in Rwanda, the demonization of the Hutus preceded the genocide and indeed was a necessary predicate for the killing that followed.

Location
Loveland, Colorado (Address provided upon RSVP)
As residents of Northern Colorado communities, we all understand how difficult it can be to have our voices heard and our needs met. We are regularly overshadowed by big cities throughout the state. The only way to effect change and be sure there are people looking out for us is to ensure we put those people in place - representation matters!
There will be hors d’oeuvres, drinks, a silent auction, and an opportunity to really understand what candidates can bring to the table. Come find out what some of our currently elected officials are doing to advocate for all Northern Colorado communities at the local, county, and state levels.
