Default 'Anti-Semitism will not disappear quickly'

'Anti-Semitism will not disappear quickly'

EU Coordinator for fighting Anti-Semitism discusses efforts to combat anti-Semitism on continent. 'A strong democracy can face the issues.'

Arutz Sheva spoke in Brussels with the EU’s Coordinator for fighting Anti-Semitism, Katharina von Schnurbein, amid events at the European Parliament marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Schnurbein addressed efforts being made to combat the anti-Semitic reality in Europe. “We see that anti-Semitism is unfortunately very much alive in Europe. We are taking measures, we are talking to the member states about security, about education, about law enforcement, about taking down online hatred.”

“One has to be aware, though, that anti-Semitism has been around for two thousand years, so it’s not going away very quickly. We have to have very long breath, but we also have very strong determination.”

The fight against antisemitism is a fight for Europe's core values

6 july 2022

With antisemitism worryingly on the rise in Europe and beyond, the European Union is beginning to implement the first ever EU Strategy on combating antisemitism and fostering Jewish life. EU regions and cities have a crucial role in protecting and promoting Jewish cultural heritage as a vital part of Europe's culture and way of life.​

"Antisemitism is a poison to society, a threat to our EU values and everything that the EU stands for. If we fail to ensure future for Jews in Europe, European project will have failed", stressed Katharina von Schnurbein, the European Commission Coordinator on combating antisemitism. She regretted that security concerns have led to Jews leaving some European countries and pointed out that "if the actions at EU level don't trigger down to cities and regions, little will change for the Jewish community".
