At the 2026 World Cup in Los Angeles, security seized an Israeli flag, while allowing Palestinian flags to be displayed nearby.

FIFA World Cup, why are you only banning Israeli flags?

This double standard is a blatant display of antisemitism and anti-Israel discrimination.

Today, we honor Anne Frank on her birthday—she would have been 97. This brief, flickering clip is the only known film footage of her. Shot in July 1941 during a neighbor's wedding, Anne leans out a window to watch the bride pass. She is only 12 years old here, and two months later, her family would go into hiding.

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl from Frankfurt who spent two years hiding from the N***s in a secret annex in Amsterdam when she was 13. During this time, she kept a diary and wrote about living through the world's darkest era. In August 1944, the annex was raided. She was 15 years old when she died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen in early 1945. The camp was liberated just weeks later.

Her father, Otto, the only member of the annex to survive, found her diary and published it. Anne’s diary remains one of the most widely read accounts of the Holocaust ever written.

At the Simon Wiesenthal Center, we preserve stories like Anne's to educate and inspire future generations to stand against hatred and antisemitism.

Don’t be neutral. Not even once. These powerful words were delivered last night by our 2026 Humanitarian Award recipient, Sara Crown Star. Our CEO, Jim Berk, declared, “We are all in for Chicago,” while highlighting our newest Mobile Museum of Tolerance.

Local leaders also made us proud and took notice. Steve Lavin spoke about the impact of our NextGen Leaders, Senator Laura Fine proudly discussed our Mobile Museums of Tolerance, and Sandy Teplitzky announced the inaugural Chicago Antisemitism Summit.

Last year’s Humanitarian Award honoree, Todd Stern, passionately encouraged the room to help expand these vital programs. Our community responded.

If you would like to help us expand our programming, please consider making a gift to the Simon Wiesenthal Center: https://give.wiesenthal.com/give/780179/ #!/donation/checkout

Thank you for standing with us as we build a stronger, safer, and more compassionate future for Jewish life in Chicago and around the world.

Federal authorities today announced the arrest of 8 individuals accused of engaging in a year-long campaign of threats, vandalism, and attacks targeting University of Michigan leaders, local businesses, and a Jewish institution. The alleged conduct included targeting private homes, leaving threatening messages, and acts of vandalism and violence that endangered families.

Vandalism, intimidation, and harassment are not activism—they are crimes. We commend the FBI and partners for their thorough investigation and today’s arrests. Those who allegedly targeted Jewish institutions and community leaders with acts of intimidation and violence must be held accountable. Thank you to law enforcement for protecting our communities and holding alleged perpetrators accountable.

Antisemitism isn't hatred, it's a system—that's why it keeps winning. SWC's Head of North American Advocacy, Vladislav Khaykin, uses his grandfather's heroic WWII story in his new op-ed to explain why we keep losing the fight against antisemitism. His grandfather helped liberate multiple European capitals during WWII, but was later labeled a 'Zionist fascist' in the Soviet Union.

Recently in Jerusalem, Israel, thousands of people took to the streets for the annual March for Pride and Tolerance. It was a powerful reminder of what it looks like when people unite in solidarity, celebrating their identities and demanding equality for all.

As an organization built on the values of tolerance and human rights, the Simon Wiesenthal Center is proud to stand with the global LGBTQIA+ community and with the safety and security of the State of Israel. Every person deserves to live freely and without fear.

On Holocaust Survivor Day, we’re honoring survivors who have shared their stories at the Museum of Tolerance. Watch to hear why their stories matter now more than ever.

The Museum of Tolerance is the educational arm of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and keeping these memories alive through Holocaust education is core to our mission. We have highlighted survivor speakers for decades, and that tradition continues today with survivor and second-generation speakers who keep these stories alive.

Voter guides are instruments of democracy and must not be co-opted to spread hate and extremism.
