🎙️ United Against Antisemitism: Stories from the Field, Episode 8.
The EPNA Conference 25 in February in Berlin featured a panel discussion on the challenges and political responses to antisemitism across Europe.
Moderated by Benjamin Fischer, Chair of the Board at CeMAS and Advisory Board member at Democ, the panel brought together Ambassador Christian Heldt, Special Representative of the German Federal Foreign Office; Alina Bricman, Director of European Union Affairs at B’nai B’rith International; Michael Whine, UK Member of ECRI and co-founder of the Community Security Trust; and Rosa Jellinek, content creator, political educator, and activist.
The discussion addressed topics such as the application of European legislation not only in EU member states but also in Council of Europe states: Whine highlighted the strong legal frameworks in Europe, while also acknowledging that these laws are not always effectively applied. Jellinek emphasized the need for greater pressure on online platforms to combat hate speech, as well as increased financial support for Jewish communities and educational initiatives on antisemitism. Bricman put up for discussion the necessity of content-driven capacity building, the relevance of interdisciplinary collaboration, and depoliticising antisemitism as well as strengthening solidarity.
The event was realised in cooperation with the German Federal Foreign Office.
