Secondary schools should teach pupils about contemporary antisemitism, as well as the Holocaust, the government’s independent adviser on anti-Jewish hatred has warned.
In a report aimed at tackling the growth of antisemitic incidents in the UK, Lord Mann commended the “great strides” made in promoting greater awareness of the genocide in schools.
But he added that antisemitism “can take many forms” and “it is not enough to teach about the Holocaust”.
Further education would help to “avoid young people going into higher education or working life without an understanding of anti-Jewish hatred”.
It comes as research from think tank the Henry Jackson Society shows a stark rise in antisemitic incidents in schools.
