Image Statement: ‘Moral Compass’ addresses the unprecedented resurgence of antisemitism since the Holocaust, focusing on attacks against Jewish people in public spaces, places of worship, workplaces, on holiday, and through social media. The piece highlights incidents occurring globally today. It questions whether society has lost its moral compass where respect for individual identity and heritage coexists with the normalisation of antisemitism.
