The Polish city of Wrocław adopted the IHRA working definition of antisemitism.
“Wrocław is an open and hospitable city, breathing freedom on a daily basis, where issues of equal treatment, human rights and tolerance occupy a fundamental place. These are the values we care about in Wrocław and for which we constantly strive” said Deputy Mayor of Wrocław Bartłomiej Ciążyńsk before the signing.
“Cultivating and drawing on the vastness of this heritage, Wrocław proudly joins the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance IHRA. The definition of antisemitism formulated by the IHRA will be an important tool and point of reference to effectively combat and prevent antisemitism” stated the declaration.
“What we are doing today is very important. In this way, we are sending a very important message” expressed Yacov Livne, Israeli ambassador in Warsaw.
