The International Conference on Combating Antisemitism – Generation of Truth is the leading global event dedicated to confronting antisemitism and Holocaust denial in today's world.

Held for the second consecutive year in Jerusalem, the conference convenes international policymakers, parliamentarians, academics, and media professionals to discuss core issues and explore innovative ways to confront antisemitism and preserve the memory of the Holocaust.

Join us for the conference at Jerusalem’s Binyaney Ha’uma Conference Center on January 27th, 2026, as well as other mind-provoking and inspiring sessions and events.

  

Dear Friends and Allies,

More than two years after the horrific events of October 7, 2023, and eighty-one years after the end of World War II, the world has seen a resurgence of hatred, a dangerous increase in violence, and an unsettling tolerance for antisemitism disguised as political discourse.

Not only does this surge threaten the lives of Jews worldwide, but it also jeopardizes the memory of the Holocaust and the essential lesson it serves for all humanity.

Therefore, we cannot stand by silently. We must rise resolutely together and expose the lies, the delegitimization, and the hatred that fuel these threats and convey that Holocaust deniers and antisemitic violence pose a danger not only to the Jewish people but also to the communities in which they live.

 As Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, I firmly believe that confronting this menace is a global and vital duty that transcends borders, politics, and generations.

On January 26-27, 2026, the Ministry of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, along with myself, will host the Second International Conference on Combating Antisemitism — Generation of Truth. This important event in Jerusalem, scheduled around International Holocaust Remembrance Day, is more than just a conference; it’s a global call to action.

This conference brings together policymakers, parliamentarians, academics, and media from around the world with a clear goal: to promote unity, deepen understanding, and develop practical strategies to confront antisemitism directly.

I invite you to join us in Jerusalem—bring your voice, expertise, and commitment. Together, we will make sure that their legacy inspires our actions today and in the future. The stakes have never been higher. Your involvement in Generation of Truth is crucial—not only for this generation but for all those to come.

I look forward to welcoming you to Jerusalem!

Amichai Chikli
Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism
The State of Israel

The 2026 international conference on combating antisemitism features a series of events, meetings, and discussions for designated target audiences, such as parliamentarians and policymakers, academics, media, and influencers.

This year's agenda will address the most pressing challenges in the global fight against antisemitism, such as: 
•    Why has Holocaust denial become unexpectedly accepted, and how can we fight both the conversation and its dangerous effects?
•    Can we eliminate antisemitic conspiracy theories that thrive in the rhetoric of political movements?
•    How did immigration to Europe lead to a rise in antisemitism, posing a serious threat to Jewish communities?
