This is tremendous progress.’’

She noted that the European Commission last week opened a call for proposal worther 20 million € to support projects against antisemitism and other forms of racism. ‘’We hope to see many more initiatives from civil society that prevent or fight antisemitism, provide education, initiate Holocaust remembrance or promote Jewish heritage in our cities,’’ she said.
