A ground-breaking EU-funded series created by the EJC of short online educational videos explaining various aspects of the diversity of Jewish life and culture has reached millions across social media in recent months.

"We have fond and enduring memories of our audiences with the late Pope and his deep commitment to fostering dialogue with Jewish communities and fierce opposition to antisemitism" said EJC Executive Vice-President Raya Kalenova

As coalition negotiations begin, we urge Germany’s leaders to unite democratic forces, ensure stability and firmly reject extremism.

Ahead of the Munich Security Conference, EJC and WJC "urge leaders and decision-makers—across governments, industry and civil society—to demand the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages still held in Gaza."

The Shoah, the systematic and deliberate mission of the Nazis and their collaborators to annihilate the Jewish people, resulted in the murder of six million Jews between 1939 and 1945. This unparalleled atrocity in world history must never be trivialised, contextualised, or compared, as such acts perpetuate the suffering of its victims and their descendants.  

The European Jewish Congress welcomes the ceasefire agreement enabling the return of the hostages kidnapped and incarcerated in horrendous and brutal conditions in Gaza for more than 450 days.
