I would also like to express my appreciation to Indiana University for nurturing one of the world's leading research institutes for the study of antisemitism. At a time when antisemitism and anti-Zionism are on the upsurge, the courses, conferences, and publications of Indiana's Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism make a uniquely important contribution to higher education.

Resurgent Antisemitism: Global Perspectives
April 3-5, 2011
Acts of antisemitic hatred—here or everywhere in the world—must be a matter of deep concern to all people because criminal acts of hatred against any group threaten the freedom of all people. In a diverse and increasingly global society, we absolutely depend on tolerance and respect for all people. We cannot afford to ignore the lessons drawn from serious and informed study of present-day antisemitism and its deep connections with centuries-old traditions of suspicion and hatred. Professor Rosenfeld and the Institute for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism are performing an invaluable service through their international leadership in this timely study.
