Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism

The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism (SICSA) is an interdisciplinary research center on anti-Semitism at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

The Center was established in 1982 as an interdisciplinary research center dedicated to an independent, non-political approach to the accumulation and dissemination of knowledge necessary for understanding the phenomenon of anti-Semitism. The Center engages in research on anti-Semitism throughout the ages, focusing on relations between Jews and non-Jews, particularly in situations of tension and crisis.

Currently the center's director is Prof. Robert Wistrich.

Among SICSA's noteworthy recent accomplishments was the sponsorship of the English language work of the renowned Italian international scholar, Cesare G. De Michelis on the Protocols of Zion, entitled "The Non-Existent Manuscripts: A Study of the "Protocols of the Sages of Zion" (2004.
