International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism
Get active, order free campaign material and inform us about your activities (see forms below).
Hatred is becoming a fatal, daily constant throughout Europe. It appears in many faces - right-wing extremism, fascism, extreme nationalism, xenophobia, racism, romaphobia, islamophobia, antisemitism - yet it always brings the same poisonous consequences for communities and society at large. Hate not only leads to violence, discrimination and exclusion, it is also a dangerous threat to democracy and peace.
All over Europe people are fighting hate in their communities and stand up to promote diversity and inclusion. Join this fight and lets get active UNITED!
Why campaign on 9 November?
Around 9 November traditionally antifascist and antiracist organisations throughout Europe commemorate the victims of the 'Kristallnacht' progrom and nazi Germany's fatal policy of mass murder. They protest against contemporary manifestations of hate ideologies and take an active stand through collective action.
The 'Kristallnacht' pogrom, was the first step to the extermination of the Jewish Europeans by the nazis. Today it is seen as the symbolic beginning of the Holocaust, the policy of the systematic murdering of millions of people. It reminds us that such terrible things did not start with deportations and concentration camps, but developed step by step. Nazi propaganda and hate speech against Jews and laws depriving Jewish citizens of their rights - as happened with the 'Nuremberg Laws' which, among other things, stripped German Jews of their citizenship - were the first steps which eventually culminated in violence and pogroms.
Looking to the right-wing tendencies in modern Europe, we must be aware that history used to be repeated and the Holocaust happened with the silent acceptance and support of the broad majority of society. Nowadays right-wing extremism is increasing in force on the entire continent. Hate crimes are turning into regular facts, extreme right-wing parties are elected into local and national parliaments and xenophobic propaganda is becoming legitimate in societies.
