Hannah Rosenthal (born 1951) is an American Democratic Party political official and Jewish non-profit executive who served as the U.S. Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Antisemitism from 2009 until 2012 during the Obama administration.

[1][2] Rosenthal was previously head of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs (JCPA), during which she was named as one of the 50 most influential Jews in America.

[7] She attended Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley, Massachusetts through her sophomore year and then transferred to and graduated from the University of Wisconsin.

[10] In 1995, Rosenthal was appointed by the Clinton administration to serve as Midwest regional director of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

According to Jewish Standard, Rosenthal reportedly did not want to become Special Envoy and "was advocating for someone else in the role", but then State U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor (DRL) Michael Posner "was very insistent.”[14] Together with Farah Pandith, U.S. Special Representative to Muslim Communities, Rosenthal launched the Acceptance, Respect and Tolerance Initiative to promote inter-faith and inter-ethnic understanding.

[19] Rosenthal met with a number of foreign officials regarding antisemitism, including Ilmar Reepalu then mayor of Malmö, Sweden.

"[2] Rosenthal was criticized by ADL president Abraham Foxman in an open letter for saying that the speakers of the Israel solidarity rally "espoused narrow, ultra-conservative views of what it means to be pro-Israel".

"[25] Foxman has also criticized Rosenthal for organizing and accompanying a trip by eight American imams and Muslim leaders to the Dachau and Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps, saying that the involvement of the State Department in an intercommunal affair was unwarranted.
