(05 October 2021) – Today, the European Commission is presenting the first-ever EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life.
With antisemitism worryingly on the rise, in Europe and beyond, the Strategy sets out a series of measures articulated around three pillars: to prevent all forms of antisemitism; to protect and foster Jewish life; and to promote research, education and Holocaust remembrance.
The Strategy proposes measures to step up cooperation with online companies to curb antisemitism online, better protect public spaces and places of worship, set up a European research hub on contemporary antisemitism and create a network of sites where the Holocaust happened.
These measures will be reinforced by the EU’s international efforts to lead the global fight against antisemitism.
