Dear Corey,

We need your voice. As antisemitism rises dramatically around the world, it is vital to document and amplify firsthand accounts of anti-Jewish hate—past and present. Your story can help ensure that the experiences of our community are seen, heard, and remembered.

We are seeking personal testimonies from:

* People who experienced *antisemitism in North America post-1945* , especially in *institutional settings*
* *Sephardi, Mizrahi, or Yemenite Jews* who were *displaced from Arab lands* in the mid-20th century

This innovative effort is part of USC Shoah Foundation’s Countering Antisemitism Through Testimony Collection, which will become the largest-ever archive of firsthand accounts of antisemitism from 1945 to today.

*One Queens: Fellowship Against Hate* Jewish Committee is proud to partner with the USC Shoah Foundation to give voice to, document, and map modern-day antisemitism around the world. By contributing your testimony, you are helping to build a powerful record of resilience and lived experience that will inform education, advocacy, and action for generations to come.

As the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, AJC is dedicated to confronting antisemitism, no matter the source, to shape a new future in which Jewish communities are safe and thriving.

Thank you, in advance, for being a part of this important effort.

Warmly,

Dr. Alexandra Herzog
Director, AJC’s William Petschek Global Jewish Communities Department

AJC’s mission is to enhance the well-being of the Jewish people and Israel,

and to advance human rights and democratic values in the United States and around the world.
