Migrantische Initiativen gegen Antisemitismus und Rechtsextremismus

In the organizer's words:

For years, educational programs against anti-Semitism and right-wing extremism have also been offered in Germany by organizations that specifically target adolescents and young adults with a history of migration. In most cases, the educators themselves have a history of migration. Peer-to-peer work can offer advantages. But it also raises questions. Does it make sense for work against anti-Semitism to address young people as "migrants"? Are the tasks not the same as when working with people without a history of migration? What role do anti-Semitic and right-wing extremist groups play within (post-)migrant communities?

We talk to Dr. Yilmaz Kahraman, Islamic scholar, Managing Director of the Association of Alevi Youth in NRW, Mascha Schmerling, Education Officer at the Central Council of Jews in Germany and at "Meet a Jew", and Ali Ertan Toprak, Federal Chairman of the Kurdish Community of Germany since 2013 and Honorary President of the Federal Working Group of Immigrant Associations in Germany.

Moderation:

Dr. Olaf Kistenmacher, historian
