EXTREMISM IS ON THE RISE
... and young people are paying the price:
-
Hate has been normalized in political rhetoric.
-
Incidents of hate speech are on the rise from elementary schools to college campuses.
-
66% of millennials cannot even say what Auschwitz was
-
Extremists take advantage of our polarized society to indoctrinate & recruit vulnerable youth.
THE CURE FOR HATE SOCIAL IMPACT CAMPAIGN
Making a film isn’t enough – we aim to spark dialogue linking history to rising hate crimes, intolerance, and extremism – while making Auschwitz’s lessons urgent today.
Across the country, we’ve screened the film and led conversations on belonging, compassion, and resisting polarization. Last year alone, we engaged 6,100 people – including 4,400 students in 40+ schools – and we’re just getting started.
Hate doesn’t arise in a vacuum. To build resilience against radicalization, we take a whole-of-society approach. Partnering with schools, educators, community leaders, law enforcement, mental health workers, and inter-faith groups, we host screenings with town halls, panels and educational workshops – fostering ways to rethink and resist polarization.
Our social impact program uses Tony’s powerful story to engage vulnerable youth. Through experiential learning, dialogue and workshops – developed with education experts – we strengthen students’ resilience to radicalization while keeping Holocaust lessons relevant.
Tony McAleer’s journey proves transformation is possible. If a former neo-Nazi can overcome hate, what lessons can we all learn?
GOALS
• Help young people understand the roots of hatred – the conditions under which it thrives – and ways to prevent its spread.
• Provide young people with specific tools to counter “othering” tendencies.
• Teach digital literacy as an antidote to online recruitment
• Promote community resiliency through community screenings and programming with local anti-violence organizations
Made possible by a grant from The Center for Prevention Programs & Partnerships’ “Targeted Violence and Terrorist Prevention Program”.
This secondary school-focused project is phase one of a larger effort, geared towards making the program and its materials available for classroom use throughout the US, including higher education and teach-the-teacher trainings.
