What is antisemitism? It's a form of racism that’s defined as a prejudice against or hatred of Jewish people. People of the Jewish faith share customs, traditions and histories. A person can be born Jewish or convert to the faith. Someone can also be Jewish and secular.

5 On Your Side’s next special tackles rising hate in this country, more specifically, antisemitism. The Anti-Defamation League reports that antisemitic incidents in this country were at an all-time high in 2022.

RACE: Listen. Learn. Live. Fighting Antisemitism will air at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 5. Watch over the air, on YouTube or on 5+.

The special is sponsored by St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum.
