Significance
The European Commission is pushing member states to acknowledge problems in dealing with a cross-national phenomenon, but has no say in building national education curricula. The new strategy fails to deal with elite strategies to foster anti-Semitic attitudes, and has no control over member states’ approach to their history of anti-Jewish attitudes.
Impacts
Countries’ dismissive approach to the memory of the Holocaust will puncture ties with the United States and Israel.
Forgetting the meaning of the Holocaust will have secondary effects on the promotion of human rights agendas.
Funds the EU makes available will boost research into anti-Semitism and the Holocaust in Europe.
