Nadinesimantov.com Breslow said she prefers speaking to students.

“The Holocaust is not officially part of the Pennsylvania
teaching curriculum, like in New York and New Jersey, but more
educators are keen to include it,” she said.

Temple Sholom and many community members share
Breslow’s concerns over growing prejudice and anti-Semitism
in the U.S.

“Hate and anti-Semitism are on the rise, such as the massacre
in Pittsburgh, and all of the horrible incidents in Parkland,
Orlando and in Charlottesville have empowered our commu-
nity to want to make our country more tolerant and inclusive,”
said Marissa Kimmel, a communications associate at Temple
Sholom. Temple Sholom recently hosted a forum on hate and anti-
Semitism in Delaware County, including community leaders
such as the ADL, Delaware County District Attorney Katayoun
Copeland and state Rep. Jennifer O’Mara.

The forum was prompted by a recent meeting of a white
nationalist group known as the American Identity Movement at
a bowling alley near the shul, Rabbi Peter Rigler said.

Some Jewish historians are debating the validity of previous
narratives about the continuous unfolding of liberalism and
gradual disappearance of anti-Semitism in America.

“There is no doubt that incidents of anti-Semitism have
increased over the last few years across the country,” said
Beth Wenger, history department chair at the University of
Pennsylvania, but “we must be careful not to overreact by assum-
ing the majority of Americans hold such views.”
“Anti-black, anti-Jewish and anti-immigrant sentiments have
long been intertwined in America,” Wenger said, and, “Targeting
these groups has long been a trope of white supremacist move-
ments in the United States, and certainly we are living in a
moment of heightened nationalist feeling that often creates a
backlash against all these groups.”
