A
new webpage was launched on Monday featuring over one hundred personal
testimonies from Jewish students who have experienced antisemitism on campuses
across the U.S. over the past year-and-a-half.
Behind the project is the non-profit campus watchdog AMCHA Initiative which gathered the
extensive testimony from public reports, and students at 47 colleges and
universities in 20 states.
In their reports on the site, some students said they felt intimidated
and frightened. Others said they wanted to hide their Jewish identities for
fear of being targeted by classmates. One student from University of Washington
said that after seeing his Star of David, some people “brand me as someone
toxic, someone worthy of their disdain and vitriol.”
