Visitors walk through the cemetery of the former Nazi concentration camp in Terezin, Czech Republic. The antisemitic incidents in the Czech Republic continued to rise last year, the Jewish community said Wednesday June 9, 2021. In its annual report, the Federation of the Jewish Communities said it registered 874 antisemitic attacks in 2020, 180 more than the previous year. Petr David Josek/AP Photo

More Americans ascribe to negative Jewish stereotypes than just four years ago, a new national survey reveals. A Kenosha rabbi talks about her community’s response to a recent antisemitic incident. And an Anti-Defamation League Midwest official talks about the problem elsewhere in Wisconsin.
