On behalf of @sweden2023eu, @Pau_Brandberg vowed to #Holocaust survivors present in the audience that the EU Council will work hard to safeguard rights and maintain political will to counter #antisemitism in the present day. Image
From the 🇸🇪 Swedish presidency of @TheIHRA, @ann_bernes spoke on the various initiatives and commitments from European institutions and civil society to commemorate and remember the Shoah, its victims, and survivors. Image
Polish #Holocaust survivor Henriette Kretz, born in 1934 and currently living in Antwerp, gave a very emotional testimony of how she survived as a child, in the ghetto and then in hiding.

It is imperative that we listen to every survivor’s story.
