The Shoah and Holocaust serves as&nbsp;a&nbsp;sobering lesson of&nbsp;the destructive power of hate, violent extremism, fascism, and antisemitism. If we truly believe in \u2018Never Again\u2019, we must stand together and speak out against antisemitic, violent extremist, fascist, and other discriminatory tendencies wherever, and whenever they appear, that have been rising dramatically in recent <a href=\"https:\/\/data.consilium.europa.eu\/doc\/document\/ST-6406-2022-REV-1\/en\/pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">years<\/a>. Our pledge to \u201cnever be indifferent\u201d stems from the Polish-Jewish Auschwitz survivor Marian <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VaPF_g0jHxk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Turski<\/a>, who details that with indifference, we will fail to keep our \u201cnever again\u201d promise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hateful narratives which prevail both online and offline everyday, are clearly against the values which underpin our democracies and European society. All&nbsp;forms of violent extremism, including antisemitism and its manifestations, contradict fundamental values as enshrined in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/about-us\/universal-declaration-of-human-rights\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Universal Declaration of&nbsp;Human Rights<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.echr.coe.int\/Documents\/Convention_ENG.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Convention on Human Rights<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/charter\/pdf\/text_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union<\/a>. Only through education, awareness-raising, and strong political condemnation, can violent extremism and hateful narratives, including antisemitism, be erased from everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, European universities played a crucial role in fostering hate and the systematic discrimination of Jews and other marginalised groups in the past. Still today, and especially in recent months, we have seen an appalling rise in antisemitism on European campuses. Universities are supposed to foster an environment that promotes respectful discussion and learning. They have a special responsibility to ensure that all people, especially those in minority groups, feel safe and included on and off campuses. Hateful narratives and actions impede Jewish students from partaking in university life and academia. Therefore, we need to oppose all forms of extremism, including antisemitism, standing in solidarity with Jewish students and standing up for Jewish spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>January 27th reminds us of the importance of&nbsp;never being indifferent. To this end, the European Students\u2019 Union and the European Union of Jewish Students call upon the academic community to ensure that Jewish students can enjoy higher education safely and to tackle the ever-growing antisemitism that too prevails in&nbsp;higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>#WeRemember<\/em><\/strong><em> Learn From The Past.
