Antisemitism in Theory and Practice: Legacies in Cultural and Political Thought
London, 28-29 April 2008, at the Wiener Library
An international conference organised by the LBI London and the Wiener Library as a contribution to the European Network for Research into Historical and Current Antisemitism
The conference looked at theories of antisemitism and antisemitic legacies in modern cultural and political theories. We assessed the state of the art in modern theories of antisemitism and examined problematic legacies that partly fostered these theories; we also discussed praxis oriented approaches of dealing with antisemitism in a number of European countries.

Scholars from the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Israel, and the US, attempted to place Swiss-Jewish history in a larger, European context of German-Jewish history.
