About the Podcast
Antisemitism has deep roots in American history. Yet in the United States, we often talk about it as if it were something new. We’re shocked by acts of violence or by antisemitic protests, but also surprised. We ask, “Where did this come from?” as if it came out of nowhere. But antisemitism in the United States has a history. A long, complicated history. A history easy to overlook. Antisemitism, U.S.A. is a podcast series coming this summer from R2 Studios, part of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University.
