November 9th 1996 Commemoration of Kristallnacht
International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism
"Stop Violence Against Minorities!"
The UNITED campaign is organised in cooperation with European minority
organisations:
European Union of Jewish Students (EUJS)
European Roma Rights Centre (ERRC)
International Gay and Lesbian Youth Organisation (IGLYO)
International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA)
Migrants Forum of the European Union
Mobility International, Roma National Congress (RNC)
Searchlight
and hundreds of organisations from all over Europe.
The main focus will be on the violence against Jews in the past and the
violence that different kinds of minorities are still suffering today. The
campaign denounces both the violence of racists in the street and the
policy of governments that mobilise hatred against minorities.

MESSAGE OF SOLIDARITY
to organisations participating in
November 9th International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism
Dear friends,
In about 35 countries activities are taking place on this special date. In
the Scandinavian countries joint international demonstrations have been
organised. Demonstrations are held as well in Poland and Russia and several
other countries. Candlelight marches and vigils take place in the
Netherlands and in Great Britain. In Croatia, in the Czech Republic, in
Germany and in Romania memorial events, concerts and exhibitions are set
up. All over Europe thousands of people are commemorating Kristallnacht in
their own way.
This November 9 we especially ask attention for the on-going violence
against minorities. With these activities we want to get the attention of
the general public but also of the governments. Violence against minorities
is not tolerable in democratic societies, not from individuals, not from
fascist groups, not from the governments themselves!
The activity you are organising is not an individual one. All the other
hundreds of groups in Europe which are active around 9 November 1996 are
part of a common movement. All of us fight against fascist tendencies and
antisemitism and we will go on to be active and stop the violence against
minorities of all kinds. We wish you strength, luck and success in your
activities.
