Diane Orson

CMI member Diane Orson, former WNPR Morning Edition host, will host an insightful program about the rise of antisemitism.

Connecticut saw a record high number of antisemitic incidents last year - up more than 40% over 2020. Why is this happening? How do we respond? And how can lessons of the past help us combat hate and protect democracy?

Antisemitism Rising: Bearing Witness Then and Now premieres Thurs July 21st - part of CPTV's Cutline series. We hear from Holocaust survivors in our state and people experiencing antisemitism today. We explore links between antisemitism and extremism, visit a classroom teaching the Holocaust - and learn the story of Sobibor.
