On October 31, 2022, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, DC issued a statement strongly condemning rising antisemitism in the United States and calling on leaders and citizens to confront this dangerous trend.
The Museum notes that “antisemitic rhetoric is increasing in its frequency, visibility, and intensity” and explains that the:

Yes, it can happen here.
