The seminar aims to further explore the kinds of stereotypes and myths which characterize a particular hatred as anti- Semitism and investigate why these lies still remain despite the efforts to combat them. The seminar includes 7 classes, which take place in the Universidad del CEMA and a guided tour through the Holocaust Museum of Buenos Aires. The classes are in charge of Ricardo LópezGöttig, who holds a PhD in History (Karlova University in Prague) and participated as a fellow in the International Seminar for Teachers of YadVashem (Holocaust – Museum) in Jerusalem, January 2008.
