>> Frederica: WE LEAVE IT THERE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> Frederica: IN OTHER STATE NEWS, ANTI-SEMITIC ACTS INCREASED BY MORE THAN 450% ACCORDING TO THE MILWAUKEE JEWISH FEDERATION.

FOR ONE HOLOCAUST HISTORIAN ONE ACT CAME DIRECTLY TO HER DOOR STEP.

HERE'S OUR STUDENT JOURNALIST WITH THE STORY.

>> IN THE MORNING AROUND 8:00 AND I LOOK DOWN AND SEE THIS OBJECT AND PICKED IT UP AND I WAS QUITE HORRIFIED AND SHOCKED.

>> HER SHOCK AND HORROR CAME FROM DISCOVERING AN ANTI-SEMITIC FLYER ON HER HOME IN KENOSHA.

>> DOWN THE STREET TO 75th STREET.

>> THE FLYER CLAIMS JEWISH PEOPLE CAUSED THE COVID-19.

IT WAS IN A PLASTIC BAG AND WEIGHED DOWN BY ROCKS AND A PENNY.

AS A HOLOCAUST HISTORIAN SHE'S USED TO STUDYING ANTI-SEMITISM.

>> I CALLED THE POLICE AND OFFERED THE INFORMATION AND PROVIDED THE PAMPHLET AND SAID THEY ALREADY HAD IT AND WERE INFORMED OF IT.

>> THE KENOSHA POLICE DEPARTMENT WERE ABLE TO FIND THE PERPETRATOR AND FINE HIM JUST OVER $4,000 NOT FOR A HATE CRIME BUT LITTERING.

ANTI-SEMITICS INCREASED BY 450% AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT SPREAD DURING THE COVID-19 CAUSED AN INCREASE IN CASUAL ANTI-SEMITISM.

>> IT'S BECOME SO NORMALIZED AND SO UBIQUITOUS AND PEOPLE ARE COMFORTABLE EXPRESSING THOSE FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS AND ATTITUDES.

>> SHE SAYS AS THE PURPLE STATE, WISCONSIN DEMONSTRATES HOW POLITICAL DIVISIVENESS CAN PERMEATE.

>> IT'S CREATED TUNNELLED VISION TYPE OF THINKING AND HAS MADE IT DIFFICULT FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO REACH ACROSS DIVIDES AND SEE EACH OTHER AS HUMAN BEINGS.

>> JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VICTIMS OF HATE CRIMES.

>> YOU SEE AN INCREASING RELUCTANCE OF PEOPLE TO CALL OUT ANTI-SEMITISM WITHIN THEIR OWN POLITICAL CAMP.

>> PROFESSOR GOLDBERG SAID ANTI-SEMITISM STANDS OUT FOR SUBTLETY AND PERVASIVENESS AND SAID THERE'S TROPES THAT STILL EXIST IN CULTURE.

>> IN THE MIDDLE AGES JEWS WERE ACCUSED OF POISONING WELLS AND BLAMED FOR THE PLAGUE.

THOSE MOTIFS BECAUSE THEY'D BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME AND STILL CIRCULATE ON SOME LEVEL MAKE JEWS SUITED FOR THE SCAPE GOATS.

>> IT ALIENATES PEOPLE FROM THEIR COMMUNITY.

HER EXPERIENCE IN KENOSHA HAS MADE HER DISTRUSTFUL OF OTHERS.

>> MY FATHER WHO WAS A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR WARNED ME ANTI-SEMITISM IS ALIVE AND WELL.

IT'S UNDER THE RADAR AND COVERS BUT THERE.

ALWAYS BE CAREFUL.

IT'S GOING TO COME BACK.
