(DENVER)– It’s been five months since the fatal attack in Boulder at the Pearl Street Mall, where protestors were walking in support of hostages being returned from Gaza

A report from the Anti-Defamation League states that antisemitism in the United States has seen an increase in recent years. Since that attack, the Denver chapter of the Israeli American Council (IAC) has worked to educate on spotting antisemitism and teach how to defend against it.

“When you’re talking about antisemitism- coming and lecturing kids about it- sometimes you need to show them,” said Eldad Malka, Regional Director of the IAC. “It doesn’t all have to be violence. It doesn’t have to be something so overt, like the symbol that was hijacked during the war in Germany. It can be small things that eventually make people feel excluded and targeted.”

The IAC is offering an escape room titled “Escape the Hate” to educate on antisemitism.

Megan Bisque is a high school student who, with classmates, ventures through the escape room. Before them, a brick wall filled with antisemitic remarks, which the students must cover. The journey starts with a password that unlocks a video where students must identify antisemitic remarks to find codes that correspond with historical dates. Those dates eventually unlock a suitcase that allows for the graffiti to be covered. “It showed us a lot about how much Jewish hate there actually is,” Bisque said after completing the challenge.

The IAC hopes to bring the escape room to other communities. Those interested can click here for contact information and to learn more.

“We would love to see more Jewish and other communities standing together in the face of antisemitism. When we stand together, the stronger we are. There is a lot more in common between us than what separates us,” Malka said.
