The struggle against anti-Semitism and racism is still today a struggle of principle for the protection of basic human rights: an open, inclusive, cosmopolitan society with solidarity is an imperative today. A society willing to recognise the right to dignity for every human by accepting diversity. This is the only way to make sure that crimes of the scale of the Holocaust will not be repeated.
