Young urge action on anti-Jewish hate at Berlin conference
Delegates from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Serbia attended presentations, workshops and panel discussions on the rise of racial hatred and the challenges to Jewish life today.
Young Jewish leaders aged 18 to 30 from mainland Europe met in Berlin last month to crystallise action plans aimed at tackling radicalism and antisemitism across the continent.
Delegates from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Serbia attended presentations, workshops and panel discussions on the rise of racial hatred and the challenges to Jewish life today.
Michael Yedovitzky, of the Jewish Agency for Israel, said: “A meaningful meeting of young Jewish leaders in the place where, 80 years ago, the Wannsee Conference for the implementation of the Final Solution took place is the symbolic and practical way to remember, learn and contribute to shaping the future.”
The Nevatim conference is supported by Genesis Philanthropy Group (GPG) and the Claims Conference. GPG director of global grant-making Natalie Shnaiderman said it “signifies both a perseverance over the pandemic and the immense resilience of the new generation of the European Jewry”.
