It shouldn't be the job of the Jewish community to educate others, it seems no-one else will. So here are some resources that you can read, watch and listen to in order to educate yourself on the oppression of a small and persecuted minority
The Jewish Museum, London @JewishMuseumLDN has lots of resources you can access online, including their online collection, tours and talks https://jewishmuseum.org.uk/
You should follow @AuschwitzMuseum and read in the information on their website http://auschwitz.org/en/
There is a working definition of antisemitism and you can find it and more useful educational material here https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/working-definition-antisemitism
@ADL is a great website fighting hate and provides lots of great information like this brief history of #antisemitism is short and informative. But there's lots of great information there.

Black Jews exist and they often experience the double oppression of being Black and being Jewish. Here's one article on what that is like to live with

Aside from the fact that not all Jews are white, a quick Google will tell you there's lots of research that shows that being Jewish is a race as well as religious choice.Shout out to the person who actually asked me this on the weekend
