The international day of the fight against fascism and anti-Semitism will be commemorated tomorrow by the international community in memory of the victims of the Holocaust, in order not to forget the horrors experienced by this nation.

November 1938 marks the Day of the Fight Against Fascism, when the persecution of the Jewish people by Nazi Germany began in XNUMX.

The German paramilitary organization SA demolished and destroyed the buildings with sledgehammers, after which the rest of the streets were covered with pieces of broken windows, so this night is called "Kristallnach".

About 30 thousand Jewish men were taken to concentration camps, where they were later tortured, and about a thousand were killed.

Kristallnacht is the symbolic beginning of the tragedy of the Jewish people, that is, the Holocaust, during which six million innocent men, women and children were killed, as well as about five million Slavs, Roma, people with disabilities, LGBT people, political representatives and other groups.

The Civic Alliance (GA) announced that this is an opportunity to draw the public's attention to the problems of racism, extremism and fascism that we still struggle with today all over the world and how much more work needs to be done on this issue.

"Whether we in Montenegro, despite the strong movement we had, defeated fascism is still an open question. Especially in light of the war crimes that took place, but were not investigated and those responsible were not sanctioned, there was no reconciliation, today there is ethnic distance extremely high," says the response.

According to the assessment, hate speech on a national basis is particularly present against the Roma, and nationalism is on the rise.

"Unfortunately, on the other hand, the authorities are unable to find an adequate answer," they said
