Ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day, President von der Leyen emphasized the importance of remembering the Holocaust’s victims and combating antisemitism. She highlighted the need to prevent the distortion of historical facts, noting a rise in antisemitic acts across Europe. The EU is strengthening strategies to combat antisemitism, including a network of trusted flaggers to address online hate, and safeguarding Holocaust sites for educational purposes. A new EU Anti-Racism Strategy 2026-2030 aims to create a Europe free from racism. The Commission also launched initiatives to preserve memorial sites and fund projects promoting Holocaust remembrance and education. Over €28 million in EU funding will support these efforts, including collaborations with UNESCO to assess teachers’ understanding of antisemitism. The EU reaffirmed its commitment to protecting Jewish communities and ensuring historical accuracy in remembrance efforts.
