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”.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
