Watch the full summit here:
On March 16, 2021, Frankfurt am Main, in partnership with the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement (CAM), hosted the first-ever Mayors Summit Against Anti-Semitism.
This groundbreaking event brought together leading municipal officials from around the world for a common mission -- to eradicate religious hatred and prejudice from our cities.
Too often, there is a gap between policy solutions to anti-Semitism at the national and international levels and their implementation on the ground, where the effects of Jew-hatred are primarily felt and must be confronted head-on.
This is the challenge that our distinguished group of speakers at the summit addressed.
A broad array of innovative ideas were shared in the realms of education, law enforcement, and community cohesion, among others, as our summit participants charted a new path forward in the fight against the world’s oldest hatred.
