Museums Respond: Strategies for Countering Antisemitism & Hate Field Guide to Resources

The Council of American Jewish Museums (CAJM,) in partnership with the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS,) announce the release of the Museums Respond: Strategies for Countering Antisemitism & Hate Field Guide to Resources for the nation’s museums that provides respected practices and curated educational resources from museums to address antisemitism and to help Americans address hate and build understanding between different communities.

The field guide was based on learnings from the IMLS and the CAJM March 2024 summit “Museums Respond: Strategies for Countering Antisemitism and Hate” in Washington, DC, where federal officials and museum leaders shared their perspectives on addressing antisemitism, with the goal of informing museum programming across the country. The summit was convened as part of IMLS’s commitments under President Biden’s National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, released in May 2023.
