AJC Cincinnati to Host National Expert on Combating Antisemitism

Submitted by AJC Cincinnati

As antisemitism continues to evolve and spread, AJC Cincinnati will welcome one of the nation’s foremost experts on the issue for an important community conversation. 

On Thursday evening, September 3, Holly Huffnagle, AJC’s U.S. Director for Combating Antisemitism, will lead a timely discussion examining how the digital world is reshaping the landscape of antisemitism—and what communities can do to respond.

Community members are invited to attend this special, off-the-record program. For free registration information and event details, visit AJC Cincinnati’s events page on their website. 

The program, hosted in partnership with Cincinnati Hillel and Hillel at Miami University, comes at a moment when antisemitic incidents continue climbing to historic levels across the United States.

Increasingly, hateful narratives are amplified not only by extremists in social and political life, but by the mechanics of digital platforms themselves, perpetuating misinformation, conspiracy theories, anti-Jewish and anti-Zionist rhetoric to spread farther and faster than ever before.

Huffnagle has become one of AJC’s key voices on these challenges, leading the organization’s global strategy to combat antisemitism through policy development, prevention, and engagement with governments, technology and AI companies, and international institutions. Previously, she led AJC’s domestic efforts to combat antisemitism and served at the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. A recognized expert on online antisemitism and emerging technologies, Holly holds a master’s degree from Georgetown University and is a frequent contributor to national media and leading publications.

The event reflects AJC Cincinnati’s broader commitment to equipping our community with the knowledge, relationships, and tools necessary to address one of today’s most pressing societal challenges.
