In occasion of this date various activities (demonstrations, conferences, festivals and exhibitions) in support of refugees will take place all over Europe. Since several years UNITED co-ordinates an international refugee campaign where the main issues emphasized are: * Denouncing the European policies in matter of asylum and immigration that are more and more restrictive, as a result of which UNITED documented more than 14.500 death cases of refugees and asylum seekers who had died at Europe's border and inside detention and deportation camps all over Europe. * Promoting a society where migrants and asylum seekers have not to face racism and discrimination. * Showing Refugees not as victims of circumstances but as talented individuals who are contributing to the cultural enrichment and the diversity of society. UNITED calls upon organisations to contribute to this awareness raising campaign. Keep the secretariat informed about your activities.

Today it is seen as the symbolic beginning of the Holocaust, the policy of the systematic murdering of millions of people. It reminds us that such terrible things did not start with deportations and concentration camps, but developed step by step. Since the early 1990s, UNITED for Intercultural Action has organised and inspired annual pan-European antiracist activities on 9 November. The aim is two-fold, firstly, we commemorate victims of the "Kristallnacht" pogrom and, more broadly, victims of the Holocaust and of fascism throughout history. Secondly, we want to warn societies about the danger of racism, anti-semitism, right-wing extremism and neo-fascism today. We want to mobilise different groups and individuals to build a common front against xenophobia, intolerance, hate and violence. Hundreds of various organisations and informal groups of all kinds have taken an active part in the campaign. It is time for you, too! Keep the secretariat informed about your activities.
