The European Jewish Congress (EJC) called on upon the European Union member states to strengthen the existing legislation against racism and antisemitism.
The call follows
the desecration of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin
as well as recent acts of antisemitism in countries around Europe.
“We urge the European Union leadership to implement the legislation against racism and antisemitism and to promote a policy of tolerance and education in the European Union. This is the most fitting response,” said Moshe Kantor, president of the European Jewish Congress.
“Condemnations of these attacks need to be backed up by strong actions and governmental policies. The EJC is committed to developing tools and educational programs that encourage tolerance and understanding in Europe.”
The EJC President added: “The lessons of the Holocaust are universal ones, which serve to remind all of humankind of the dangers inherent with hatred, intolerance and ignorance.”
