Combating Antisemitism on Australian Campuses
Since World War 2, Australia has been a safe haven for the Jewish community, with recent census reports of the Jewish population in Australian being over one hundred thousand. But with the rise of nationalism, Brexit and Trump, we’ve seen a 10% rise of antisemitism in 2016 here in Australia according to recent reports. Also with over seventy years of evidence showing the atrocities of the holocaust, it seems bizarre that people still question the legitimacy of the horrors people experience. However, recently students at multiple universities have been handing out flyers questioning the historical accuracy of the holocaust. The President of the Australian National University Students’ Association James Connolly joined The Daily to discuss what been happened.
