The Stephen Roth Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and Racism

is a resource for information, provides a forum for academic discussion and fosters continuing research on issues linked to antisemitic and racist theories and manifestations. The social and political exploitation of these phenomena in the period since the end of World War II, and the influence of their historical background, constitute the principal focus of the Institute.
