LIST OF ACTIVITIES

Joint campaign of anti-fascist, anti-racist, human rights and Jewish organisations both inside and outside the UNITED network.
61 years ago, on 9 November 1938, "Kristallnacht" took place. This partly state-organised pogrom against German Jews symbolises the beginning of the Holocaust. The com-memoration has taken on a new meaning as we remember not only the victims from 1938, but also campaign against the rise of neo-nazism and racism in Europe today, and show support for the recent victims of racist and fascist attacks.
