Standing Against Antisemitism: Why It Matters

Antisemitism, the world’s oldest hatred, has never disappeared. Today, we see it resurface in alarming ways: Holocaust denial, anti-Israel rhetoric, and growing hostility toward Jewish people. A recent survey showed that nearly one in five young adults believe the Holocaust is a myth. These numbers reveal a dangerous erosion of truth and empathy.

At Light of Messiah Ministries, we believe followers of Jesus are called to stand against hatred and to bear witness to truth. Fighting antisemitism is not only about defending the Jewish community, it’s about upholding the dignity of every person created in God’s image. When we remain silent, prejudice grows; when we learn, speak, and act, we help heal what hatred destroys.

The Breman Museum: Preserving Memory, Inspiring Action

The The Breman Museum & Cultural Center in Atlanta is a powerful place of remembrance and education. Its permanent Holocaust exhibition, Absence of Humanity: The Holocaust Years, 1933–1945, was designed by a survivor and features photos, documents, and personal testimonies from Jewish families, including those who made Atlanta their home after the war.

The Breman stands as a living testament to resilience and the human spirit. By preserving these stories, it ensures that the lessons of history are not forgotten. Visitors leave changed, as they confront the reality of where unchecked hate can lead.

Bearing Witness Together

When we partner with institutions like the Breman Museum, we join a sacred work: preserving memory, confronting prejudice, and educating the next generation. As believers, we are called to love our Jewish neighbors, to learn their history, and to stand with them in the face of rising antisemitism. Our team is working with, and supporting, their team.

Fighting antisemitism isn’t just about the past, it’s about protecting the future. It’s about bearing witness, walking in truth, and reflecting the heart of the Messiah, who calls us to love and defend one another. Jesus lived a distinctly Jewish life. He wept over his people. By standing with the Jewish community and educating Christians in our mutual fight against antisemitism we are reflecting his heart for those he loved so much.

We would love to help connect your church (small group, Sunday school class, or even a few friends) with The Breman. To ensure the best possible experience for every guest, museum tours are for groups of at least 10 people and must be scheduled at least three weeks in advance. Group and student tour requests will be filled in the order in which they are received, and every effort will be made to accommodate your needs.

Groups of fifteen or more scheduling a tour of the Holocaust Gallery have the option of hearing the eyewitness testimony of a Holocaust Survivor (contingent upon availability) or a Second-Generation Survivor.
